- Synopsis
- Why did the influential Christian thinker, Tertullian of Carthage (160-220 C. E. ), while addressing the critical issue of salvation of the flesh, write about clothing? Why did he care what Christians wore? Carly Daniel-Hughes arguesthat in early Christian communities clothing wastied to identity and theology. Placing Tertullian's writings in the Roman culture of dress, she shows that in them men's dress is used to envision Christian masculinity as non-Roman and anti-imperial. "
