Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes
Book • 2020
This book explores how Western individualism can lead to misinterpretations of the Bible, which was written in collectivist cultures.
It delves into social structures like kinship, patronage, and brokerage, and social tools such as honor, shame, and boundaries, to provide a deeper understanding of biblical texts.
By recognizing these cultural elements, readers can better interpret Scripture and live more faithfully in a globalized world.
