The Apparel Of Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419152467)

The Apparel Of Women is a book written by Tertullian, a Christian theologian who lived in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. The book is a treatise on the proper dress and behavior of women, according to Christian teachings. Tertullian argues that women should dress modestly, covering their bodies and avoiding excessive adornment. He also criticizes women who wear revealing clothing or engage in other behaviors that he considers immodest or immoral. The book was written during a time when the role of women in society was changing, and Tertullian's views reflect the conservative attitudes of many Christians at the time. Despite its controversial content, The Apparel Of Women remains an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of early Christians towards gender roles and morality.(4) But why are we a source of danger to others? Why do we excite concupiscence in others? If the Lord in amplifying the Law does not make a distinction in penalty between the actual commission of fornication and its desire, I do not know whether He will grant impunity to one who is the cause of perdition to another. For he perishes as soon as he looks upon your beauty with desire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
