Description:

The Hope of Glory: Honor Discourse and New Testament Interpretation invites the reader to examine how the New Testament sought to shape the ambitions, behaviors, and social interactions of honor-sensitive people. How did these texts help the early Christians set their hearts on gaining honor and self-respect before God, and withstand society's pressure to return to its values? How may those who share commitment to Jesus support one another so as to offset society's erosion of their commitment? What is the source of the believer's honor, and how can he or she preserve it intact?Chapters focus on the presence and rhetorical impact of honor and shame discourse in the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of John, the Thessalonian letters, the Corinthian letters, the Epistle to the Hebrews, and the Revelation of John.
