Description

“[T]his book moves beyond mere externals divorced from Christ . . . to Christ, the Gospel, and the heart.”
—Joel Beeke

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.

“Tethered to Scripture [and] practical . . . a helpful guide concerning how to dress in a God-glorifying way as Christians.”
—Rob Ventura

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.
