The Garments of the Bible
The Garments of the Bible: The Story Told in What They Wore
From the first pages, the Bible is concerned with covering. God clothes Adam and Eve in coats of skins; a bleeding woman risks everything to touch the hem of a garment; a high priest's filthy clothes are stripped off and clean ones put on; soldiers gamble for a seamless robe; a father runs to put the best robe on a son who wasted everything. Each page below takes one garment, follows it honestly, and shows how it leads to the deepest covering of all, Christ Himself, in whom we are clothed.
