About
In this thoughtful and accessible study, Dan Wu explores one of Scripture's most significant yet often misunderstood themes: honour. Showing that receiving, reflecting and returning God's honour is central to his purposes for creation, Wu demonstrates how this biblical vision shapes theology, discipleship and the Christian life.
Drawing on social-scientific and psychological research alongside careful biblical scholarship, he untangles the often-confused concepts of honour, shame and guilt, placing them within the Bible's overarching story. He then explores what these themes mean for theology, mission and pastoral ministry today.
The book is divided into three sections:
Part 1: To whom is honour due?
Part 2: Honour, shame and guilt in the Scriptures
Part 3: Honour, shame and guilt in theology, life and ministry
Explore this insightful resource for students, church leaders and anyone seeking a richer understanding of the Bible's vision for human identity, relationships and the glory of God.
