| Summary: | This paper is a threefold reading of Lamentations 1 through an honor-shame perspective. First, it explores some characteristics of the Mediterranean culture as well as honor-shame references in the Old Testament in general. Second, it gives a close reading of Lamentations 1 through the perspective of honor-shame. Third, it offers some contextual reflections of the study. This study is significant because there is no complete study on the book of Lamentations through an honor-shame perspective. A close reading of the book of Lamentations reveals cultural norms of honor as well as expressions of honor that counter those common in that culture. |
