paperbackMisreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes
Patronage, Honor, and Shame in the Biblical World
by E. Randolph Richards and Richard James
The Bible was written within collectivist cultures. When Westerners, immersed in individualism, read the Bible, it's easy to misinterpret important elements—or miss them altogether.

For those who feel that studying the English ...
