Reviews
"""An interdisciplinary tour-de-force. This book covers (literally) so many different aspects of dress and nudity it may cause a problem concerning where to begin. It ranges from anthropological and archaeological to linguistic, political and religious studies, written by prominent scholars in their respective fields. Well worth having in any serious library."" --Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood, Director of the Textile Research Centre, The Netherlands ""Essential reading on the often-overlooked topic of clothes and lack of clothing in the Hebrew Bible and broader ancient Near East. The book features an astute and theoretically-informed analysis of how male and female bodies are dressed or undressed in the Bible and other nearby cultures, complete with exciting, cutting edge discussions, and a crucial bibliography."" --David M. Carr, Union Theological Seminary New York, USA ""Biblical studies and clothing studies both abound, but with the additional perspective of nudity, texts and clothing references can be read in entirely new ways. Moreover nudity embodies, so to speak, the textual and sartorial expressions in these contributions. Clothing is examined both in its literal and metaphorical sense, and important references to archaeology, historical texts and iconography, found in Palestine, the ancient Near East and Egypt, are used to contextualize the Biblical texts."" --Marie-Louise B. Nosch, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"
