Christianity Today's 2020 Book of the Year Award of Merit -
Biblical Studies Biblical Foundations Award Finalist What does it
mean to "read Romans with Eastern eyes"? Combining research from
Asian scholars with his many years of experience living and working
in East Asia, Jackson directs our attention to Paul's letter to the
Romans. He argues that some traditional East Asian cultural values
are closer to those of the first-century biblical world than common
Western cultural values. In addition, he adds his voice to the
scholarship engaging the values of honor and shame in particular
and their influence on biblical interpretation. As readers, we
bring our own cultural fluencies and values to the text. Our biases
and backgrounds influence what we observe-and what we overlook.
This book helps us consider ways we sometimes miss valuable
insights because of widespread cultural blind spots. In Reading
Romans with Eastern Eyes, Jackson demonstrates how paying attention
to East Asian culture provides a helpful lens for interpreting
Paul's most complex letter. When read this way, we see how honor
and shame shape so much of Paul's message and mission.
