Is the Bible the first book that comes to mind when you think of fashion? Probably not.
Vogue. Elle. InStyle. GQ. These are just some of the titles that come to mind when you think of fashion. But what about looking to the Bible?
Yes, the Bible. Carefully woven throughout Genesis to Revelation runs a clothing metaphor that adorns its theology. As he traces this literary thread, Brian W. Thomas presents the fashion-forward story of how God styles sinners for heaven in an engaging and winsome style. If you have ever been intimidated by God's "big book", Clothed With Christ is a little book to help you to understand better its main topics - creation, sin, justification, and the Christian life - as they center on being clothed with Christ's cross-earned righteousness.
According to Chad Bird, publisher 1517's Scholar-in-Residence, this book will make you laugh and "shout for joy" Welcome to God's red carpet! Who are you wearing?
