“Mini” Bible Study on Christian Modesty

I get so many questions on modesty. Why do you choose to only wear skirts and dresses? Where does it say it in the Bible? Why can’t I wear pants? There is a very informative highlight saved on my Instagram account, also. But, When I came across this book, I knew I needed to share it with all of you!

Here’s what the back cover of the book says… “God’s Word has much to say about the way we dress, especially in worship. This book examines relevant portions of Scripture and investigates a little fashion history in order to present a Biblical doctrine of modesty. This is an important discussion for both men and women. While this controversial subject often falls into the realm of subjective experience and speculation, the author begins with a study of Holy Scripture. An examination of fashion authorities and historians of modern culture also reveals that the fashion industry, which believes that sexual attraction equals beauty, has been hard at work convincing society to undress in public. Because of its unbiblical worldview, the fashion industry persistently justifies the exposure and the sensualizing of the human body, a trend that many undiscerning Christians have unfortunately adopted. Christian Modesty is an urgent call to the churches of Jesus Christ to study this matter carefully and to practice modesty that brings glory to our Holy Redeemer and gives a powerful testimony of purity within our decadent society.”

Jeff Pollard wrote an exceptional book on Christian modesty and the history of American fashion. I read it in one sitting, but we are going to break it up into 10 days. At the bottom of this post i’ve provided you with a printable PDF of the book and a printable calendar so you know what to read on which day. Just like with my other studies, I’ll be reading along with you and summarizing my findings in my instagram stories. At the end of the study, we will have a zoom call! YAY!

I hope you’ll join me so that we can see what the Bible has to say about modesty. Does it really matter?
