About this listen
Christians often get hung up on what women ought to wear and miss God’s grand design for clothing.
From Genesis to Revelation, a unified thread unfolds that teaches us what clothing means. In Beyond Modesty, Scott Brown traces the biblical theology of clothing from Adam and Eve in the Garden to the white-robed saints in Revelation.
Here’s what you’ll learn—God designed clothing to:
- Cover shame
- Conceal nakedness
- Display beauty
- Symbolize purity
- Show the distinctiveness of men and women, and
- Picture the righteousness of Christ
At its core, clothing speaks to the very nature of mankind’s sin and God’s work to clothe sinners in His righteous robes.
Dress in a Way that Honors Christ
After investigating this rich doctrine, Brown addresses contemporary issues relating to fashion, culture, immodesty, and gender.
Practical topics include:
- Don’t Dress Like the World
- Immodesty vs. Pride
- A Biblical Lexicon of Fashion
- Avoiding Partiality and Favoritism
- Sports, Swimwear, and Skinny Jeans
- Questions Men and Women Should Ask
- A Word to the Heads of Households
Brown’s charge to believers: Avoid becoming prideful modesty police on the one hand and victims of the fashion industry on the other—and humbly dress in a way that honors Christ.
