Fashion Theology
Robert Covolo
Waco Texas: Baylor University Press.
ISBN 978-1-4813-1273-8
Hbk, xiv + 200 pp
This book is a wonderful, nuanced discussion of the relationship between fashion and theology. Covolo shows that fashion is not independent of theology. Theologians have not been as silent about fashion, as has often been supposed, and their discussions go beyond accusations of fashion being trivial and being about vanity. Those discussed include Tertullian, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Kuyper and Barth.
In these excavations of theological discourse and
fashion theory Covolo identifies several interesting interrelations. Fashion theology is much more than fig leaves!
