- Title
Shame in Restoration in Ezekiel.
- Authors
Ortlund, Eric
- Abstract
The article explores the social dynamics of shame in restoration in the book of Ezekiel and argues that shame in restoration cannot be interpreted by the normal patterns of shame and honor. It says that shame and honor work against social and moral ideals, in which shame is caused by failure, while honor is a status caused by success. It states that shame in restoration has two dimensions such as the location of shame after the restoration of exiles and it exists only in relation to YHWH. Furthermore, it mentions that the normal pattern of shame is an important theme in the book of Ezekiel, which cannot explain the prophecy that restored Israel will be ashamed of YHWH.
