This course helps students understand the complexities of human, cultural and psychological realities related to honour, shame, guilt and sin, with the goal of integrating cultural and psychological understandings with biblical understanding and theology. These help with the communication of the gospel in a manner that is intelligible, subjectively relevant and meaningful to people of specific cultures. Students will also look at honour, shame, guilt and sin from multiple theoretical perspectives and how they as a psycho-social-cultural construct affect human functioning.
