christ-s-righteousness

The crux of my argument is this__e cannot truly understand what we should put on, say, or do, without looking at our behavior in relationship to Christ. In Christ, decency in behavior and dress is far larger than the particulars of modesty. By the world__ standards, modesty is a rule passed down from generation to generation which involves choosing a garment that submits to a certain standard set by a mother or community, one that constantly changes._ _ Stacie Parlee-Johnson (Ch. 9, A Theology of Modesty)
