Shame and the Church: Exploring and Transforming Practice

Sally Nash
SCM Press, 2020, 193pp, pbk

Shame and the Church: Exploring and Transforming Practice

Sally Nash’s avowed focus in this book is mainly on ‘the shame we don’t deserve’ (3, quoting Smedes). She has been studying shame in the church for a decade, and much of the book examines a range of exclusionary dynamics in the western church which are experienced by individuals as occasions of shaming.
