| CONTENTS Clothing Thru the Ages Clothing of the Old Testament & Clothing of the New Testament What is Modesty? Types of Clothing Clothing and Sex Identification Things Written Aforetime -- Deut 22:5 What about Women Wearing Pants Introduction MODESTY In this study we will consider things which were written long ago for our "learning" and "admonition." We will deal with three primary things: truth, custom and fashion. By truth I mean the Will of God. By custom I have reference to a social habit that is deeply rooted in tradition. When I speak of fashion, I have reference to any style that has gained wide-spread acceptance in any given period. There are many difficulties involved in a study of this type for several reasons. Style is a thing that changes like the phases of the moon, but truth never changes; and everything must fit within the framework of truth. Styles and customs vary with different locales, but truth is universal. Modesty is our subject. It involves many facets of our lives. Modesty and a meek and quiet spirit begin with the heart. However we will be discussing clothing and the lack of clothing since this is where Biblical emphasis is placed. Modesty is to be a studied art among the people of God. It is not something to be shunned. |
