Shame has been maligned as a harmful emotion that has no place in human flourishing. But is this view correct? Is it biblical? Sean and Scott talk with Gregg Ten Elshof, a fellow Biola professor, about his latest book For Shame. Dr. Ten Elshof argues that shame is an important emotion, when experienced in the right way, to help with human flourishing in a well-ordered society.

Gregg Ten Elshof is a professor of philosophy at Biola University. He is the founding director of Biola's Center for Christian thought, and has published a number of academic articles and several well-regarded books including Christianity Today's book award winner I Told Me So.
