Clothed with Christ: A Biblical Style Guide for Sinners

Vogue. Elle. InStyle. GQ. These are just some of the titles that come to mind when you think of fashion. But what about the Bible? Yes, the Bible. Carefullly woven throughout Genesis to Revelation runs a clothing metaphor that adorns its theology. As he traces this literary thread, Brian W. Thomas presents the fashion-forward story of how God styles sinners for heaven in an engaging and winsome style. If you have ever been intimidated by God’s big book, here is a little book to help you to better understand its main topics - creation, sin, justification, and the Christian life - as they center on being clothed with Christ’s cross-earned righteousness. Welcome to God’s red carpet! Who are you wearing?

Brian W. Thomas serves as the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in San Diego, California. He is a frequent contributor at 1517 and host of the YouTube channel, Church Matters, which provides short explanations of the Christian faith for outsiders. Brian has written several books, including Wittenberg vs. Geneva: A Biblical Bout in Seven Rounds on the Doctrines that Divide.
