Receiving, reflecting and returning the love and faithfulness of God in Christ (i.e. his glory or honour) is the ultimate end of creation and thus the hermeneutic for Christian theology, ministry and life.
Dan Wu explores and explains the meaning and relationships between the concepts of honour, shame and guilt in social-scientific and psychological models and formulations, exposes the confusion and controversy over the key terms, clarifies their meaning in the context of the Bible's overall storyline, and applies them to systematic-theological, missiological and pastoral concerns.
