In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews Dr. Jerry Hwang to discuss his journey from IT consultant to pastor to theological educator. He delves into the constructs of honor and shame in cultural studies, particularly in relation to biblical scholarship. Dr. Hwang also critiques the oversimplified categorization of cultures and argues that the Old Testament presents a countercultural stance against honor-shame dynamics, particularly regarding gender roles and power. He also explores specific biblical texts, including Deuteronomy 22 and the narratives of Bathsheba and Lady Wisdom, highlighting the complexities of consent, victimhood, and the portrayal of women in Scripture.
