| Summary: | This article offers a multidisciplinary exploration of whether healing from shame is possible, what implications it has for the gospel and how healing might be appropriated in ordinary people’s lives. It draws on scripture and a very personal experience of one person’s healing from shame to draw lessons from an understanding of mission in honour/shame cultures to help those struggling with toxic shame in the postmodern, highly individualised West. Examining the relevance of story, spiritual practices and self-help, it is asserted that healing is ultimately experienced as the restoration of a relationship with God and with other, as well as with the self. |
