Description

Shame is a much misunderstood and often misdiagnosed problem that can cause significant issues in the church as in wider society.

Indeed, there have been times when the church has even been the cause of shame.

How, then, do we create a less shaming church?Shame and the Church presents a six fold typology of shame: personal, communal, relational, structural, theological and historical.

Seeking to establish the causes and consequences of shame, chapters explore how theology and the Bible engage with shame, and consider personal firsthand accounts of shame in a church context.

Wise, challenging, practical and underpinned by a rigorous theological foundation, this book is an important contribution to the conversation around shame and effacement in church contexts and at the same time a vital aid to practice.
