“[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.

 
 
 
 

 

Dress in a Way that Honors Christ

“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.
