The concepts of honor and shame have been extensively explored in cultural anthropology, psychology, biblical studies, and missiology. Yet there is still comparatively little written about how Muslim women, as distinct from Muslim men, experience honor and shame, and even less that amplifies the voices of Muslim women themselves. This article examines how honor is perceived and experienced by Muslim women around the world, based on their discussions with Christian women. It then explores implications for Christian engagement with Muslim women.
