What would we see if we read the Bible from its original cultural perspective? In the biblical world people lived and died according to the code of shame and honor. Understanding this code reveals a God who burns with passion and love for His people. The Bible is the story of a spurned Lover who was rejected in Eden and shamed on the cross but still offers grace for our disgrace and honor in place of our shame.
This book runs from Genesis to Revelation with an unexpected intensity revealing a God who is both fully divine and fully human. It ends in the everlasting triumph of love and the restoration of honor.
