Early Christian Dress: Gender, Virtue, and Authority

by Kristi Upson-Saia

Book Overview

This is the first full-length monograph on the subject of dress in early Christianity. It pays attention to the ways in which dress expressed and shaped Christian identity, the role dress played in Christians' rivalries with pagan neighbours, and especially to the ways in which notions of gender were culled and revised in the process.
