While in many ways the topic is not new, its renewed attention to the nexus of theology and mission practice today is timely. The richness of this book is in the conversation between different voices as they wrestle with reading scripture and its honor and shame perspective and apply it in a multiplicity of ministry contexts. While the reader can focus on individual chapters, the book is more than individual perspectives and is richer when read in the light of the dialogues that are happening between the individual understandings. It provides an excellent foundation for a much needed, broader, and deeper conversation that gives attention to the differing gendered, religious, and community experiences of honor and shame.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCathy Hine, PhD \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eco-founder of When Women Speak: Angelina Noble Women’s Mission Research Centre, Australian College of Theology \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI am completely convinced that it is high time for a major reframing of the gospel in the West.

This volume, with its focus on honor-shame, provides substantive documentation of that phenoMENA, but much more. In Part 1, seven essays explore diverse theological interpretations of scripture, all framed around general and specific questions of honor-shame and the gospel of Jesus Christ. In Part 2, eight essays provide case studies of ministry to persons who face honor\/shame dilemmas in life and challenges for those who seek to share Christ or make disciples in these communities. The power of this volume lies in its diversity of perspectives—Kärkkäinen with an interdisciplinary reflection on honor, guilt, shame, face, and forgiveness; Georges on historic theology, Steffen with a clothesline theology for the world—which, with the other essays in the volume, embrace the whole of scripture, the diversity of theologies, and a sampling of the broadest range of missional engagement of humanity. This material overflows with rich insight, and provocative application for today’s global mission force, providing resources for theological and missiological reflection regardless of one’s culture of origin or one’s engagement in ministry.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSherwood G.
