Honouring God in Times of Conflict

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Interpersonal conflict among Christians is a common challenge worldwide. However the literature on the topic is often dominated by Western perspectives which hold limited relevance for shame-oriented societies. Dr. Mano Emmanuel seeks to fill this gap helping readers understand how conflict - and our reactions to it - are culturally embedded. Using case studies from Sri Lanka she explores the impact of seven factors on how conflict is perceived and resolved particularly in honour-shame contexts. Reflecting theologically and biblically on these cultural dynamics Dr. Emmanuel offers biblical guidelines for dealing with conflict in God-honouring ways while affirming what should be affirmed in culture and challenging what should be challenged. Each chapter also contains questions for discussion and reflection making this a practical and accessible resource for any believer seeking to aid the church in its calling to reconciliation and peacemaking.</span></p>
