- camperman 13y agoI haven't - thanks for the link. I've read The Japanese Mind, Misreading Scripture Through Western Eyes, Malina and Rohrbaugh's Context Group work and The Syrian Christ as well as a number of academic works on group-vs-individual and honour-vs-shame. I live in a unique society - most of it is group-oriented (and frustratingly, present-oriented rather than future oriented) but there is a large minority that is thoroughly Westernised - guilt, individualist, future oriented. Needless to say, we don't understand each other much.
