Season 2: Episode 2

Are Clothes Bad?

Have you ever thought about the emphasis placed on clothing in scripture? Why are there so many details communicated about clothing? It starts at the beginning with Adam and Eve, naked and unashamed, then after the fall, hiding in shame behind leaves. God, in His kindness, then covers their nakedness. As the story of scripture continues, more and more unfolds. We see specific mentions of a coat of many colors bestowed on Joshua, garments specific to priests, and even in Jesus’ life and death, clothes tell a unique and beautiful story. But are they good even though they followed the fall? What does the theology of clothing teach us about our God?
