--Barry H. Corey, President, Biola University; author of Love
Kindness: Discover the Power of a Forgotten Christian Virtue
An excellent integrative work that weaves together faithful
biblical reflections, keen cultural analyses, and wise pastoral
insights! Tapestry of Grace is an essential reading for
those who serve among or with Asian Americans.
--Peter T. Cha, Professor of Church, Culture and Society, Trinity
Evangelical Divinity School Building on the work of deSilva, Shin
and Silzer provide much insight into the dynamics of a
collectivistic culture in the ancient world that has uncanny
similarities with modern day Asian American culture. This is one of
the finest works in developing the concept of the 'court of honors,
' which speaks into the bi-cultural struggle of an Asian American
who is simultaneously trying not only to receive honor, but also to
obtain dignity.
--Stephen T. Um, Senior Minister of Citylife Presbyterian Church of
Boston; Author of Why Cities Matter
