Honor & Shame, Unlocking the Door

You can still buy the original 2000 version of this book in which Roland Muller introduces us to the concepts of guilt, fear and shame based cultures, showing their development over the years, and their influence on our understanding of the gospel message. Roland Muller also demonstrates how the 10/40 windows is made up almost exclusively of shame based cultures. He then examines the way we traditionally present the gospel, and the difficulties this poses for those from a shame/honor background.

We are then presented with a case study based on the Muslim cultures of the Middle East, where he examines Islam in the light of shame and honor. In conclusion Roland Muller presents us with the three-fold message of the gospel which is understandable in whatever cultural setting we may work in.
