A few years back, I began a series on Twitter using the hashtag #honortheology. It attempted to explain various doctrines using honor-shame language in a concise Twitter-friendly way. Since then, many people have added comments and articles to the hashtag.

This post reviews some of those tweets and invites you to propose some of your own. If you are on Twitter, check it out. You can also find me at @jacksonwu4china.
