In this book, Roland Muller removes the mystique from shame-based cultures. Using the Bible, he introduces us to honor, shame, and fear-based cultures, illustrating their development over the years and demonstrating their influence on our understanding of the gospel message. Muller goes on to illustrate how the 10/40window 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 worldview. We are then presented with a case study based on the Muslim cultures of the Middle East, where Roland examines Islam in the light of shame and honor. In conclusion we are presented with the three-fold message of the gospel which is understandable in whatever cultural setting we may work in. The materials in this book are original and thought provoking. Discover why so many people are excited about the new concepts and challenges this book presents.
