Did Brené Brown miss something about shame? Is it always bad, or something good? Does God save us from shame? Or might God save us through shame?

If this sounds crazy, maybe it is because we thinking about shame in a Western cultural framework. Dr. Jackson Wu talks about how honor and shame work in the Bible, and how that might help us read the scriptures and understand salvation.

Check out his new books, Seeking God's Face: Practical Reflections on Honor and Shame in Scripture, and The Cross in Context: Reconsidering Biblical Metaphors for Atonement.

And follow Brad on Twitter and read his blog.
