FORTHCOMING TITLE, ETA MARCH 2025
From Genesis to Revelation, a unified, yet unfolding thread can be followed 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. The doctrine of clothing goes far beyond matters of modesty and women's clothing, he explains. It speaks to the very nature of man's sin and God's work to clothe sinners in His righteous robes.
After investigating this rich doctrine, Brown addresses contemporary issues related to fashion, culture, immodesty, and gender. His 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.
