Abstract
Honor and shame are pivotal cultural values for most non-Western Christians and yet are widely neglected in Christian theology. This article interprets Paul's epistle to the Romans, long interpreted according to Western individualistic concerns, according to the cultural notions of honor and shame to reformulate traditional theological categories. Theologizing from Romans in light of honor and shame reveals God as the honorable Creator and Covenanter, sin as shame and dishonor, salvation as honor and glory in Christ, and ethics as adopting God's code of honor. In closing, this article presents an analysis of ministry efforts to incorporate such an honor-shame theology, and suggestions for future directions.
