From the Back Cover
"DeSilva brings some of the best results of social-scientific and rhetorical analyses of the New Testament out of the academic ghetto and . . . makes them available to non-specialists. . . . A real contribution to our understanding of early Christianity--and of ourselves."
--Luke Timothy Johnson, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
". . . focus on the influence of honor and shame principles in the ancient Mediterranean world has been less well defined . . . David deSilva's work on 'honor discourse' clarifies just how important honor and disgrace were to the peoples of this region. . . . Readers will appreciate both the degree of scholarly thoroughness in his treatment of ancient sources as well as the broad use of modern studies that effectively pull together current thinking on the New Testament world."
--Victor H. Matthews, Southwest Missouri State University
