Instead, Georges examines a number of Bible themes and shows that God himself communicates in all three ways. Guilt/Innocence can be seen in Romans. Shame/Honor seen in how Jesus brings us into his family. Fear/Power can be seen in how Jesus conquered death and the devil. If you focus on only one theme, you miss the beauty of the whole diamond.
This was the second time I've read the book (there are wonderful YouTube summaries as well). Last time I was intrigued by using the 3D gospel to understand Bible stories better. You can see new colors in them if you are conscience of the different themes. This time I read the book I was thinking of how to use the 3D gospel to read cultures better. One of the questions I will be thinking about is how the 3D Gospel realities manifest themselves in how people express or are attracted to false doctrines. For example, how does the 3D gospel play into how people put an unbiblical emphasis on obedience? Does the misstep find its root differently in a Shame/Honor culture as compared to a Guilt/Innocence culture? Also, how do the different themes affect the growing synods? The book mentioned how the history of a culture affects which theme is their predominant one. In countries with long histories of relative stability and structure, guilt/innocence often comes forth. In others, shame/innocence is primary. My hypothesis is that we'll be able to see these come out in the development of WELS Internacional and how a bigger group of latino believers will relate to each other and build confianza.
Some quotes:
"Christian missiologists identify three responses to sin in human cultures: guilt, shame, fear."
"Groupality refers an "organized pattern of behavioral characteristics of a a group." A person's cultural orientation, or groupality, shapes their worldview, ethics, identity, and notion of salvation, even more than their individual personality does."
"Even individuals or groups within a culture can vary, depending on region, age, gender, etc. A rural Thai might be more fear-based than an urbanite in Bangkok. Young adults in America valuing authenticity and connection are becoming more shame-based."
"Roland Muller says the three dynamics are like the three basic colors from which artists create thousands of colors."… (mais)
