Built upon the flourishing study of costume, this book analyses
sartorial evidence provided both by texts of the ancient Near East
and the Hebrew Bible. The essays within lend clarity to the link
between material and ideological, examining the tradition of dress,
the different types of literature that reference the tradition of
garments, and the people for whom such literature was written. The
contributors explore sources that illuminate the social,
psychological, aesthetic, ideological and symbolic meanings of
clothing. The topics covered range from the relationship between
clothing, kingship and power, to the symbolic significance of the
high priestly regalia and the concept of garments as deception and
defiance, while also considering the tendency to omit or ignore
descriptions of YHWH's clothing. Following a historical sequence,
the essays cross-reference with each other to create a milestone in
biblical sartorial study.
