Description: This volume deals with the varied forms of shame
reflected in biblical, theological, psychological and
anthropological sources. Although traditional theology and church
practice concentrate on providing forgiveness for shameful
behavior, recent scholarship has discovered the crucial relevance
of social shame evoked by mental status, adversity, slavery, abuse,
illness, grief and defeat. Anthropologists, sociologists, and
psychologists have discovered that unresolved social shame is
related to racial and social prejudice, to bullying, crime,
genocide, narcissism, post-traumatic stress and other forms of
toxic behavior. Eleven leaders in this research participated in a
conference on ""The Shame Factor,"" sponsored by St. Mark's United
Methodist Church in Lincoln, NE in October 2010. Their essays
explore the impact and the transformation of shame in a variety of
arenas, comprising in this volume a unique and innovative resource
for contemporary religion, therapy, ethics, and social analysis.
