The Apparel of Women is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and writer from the early Church. The book explores the topic of women's clothing and adornment, and provides guidance and advice for women on how they should dress and present themselves according to Christian principles.Tertullian argues that women should dress modestly and avoid any clothing or accessories that might be seen as immodest or sexually suggestive. He also emphasizes the importance of inner beauty and spiritual purity, and suggests that women should focus on cultivating these qualities rather than obsessing over their physical appearance.Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on biblical passages and Christian teachings to support his arguments, and provides numerous examples of women from history and mythology who embodied the virtues he espouses.Overall, The Apparel of Women is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers insight into the early Christian view of women's clothing and adornment, and provides valuable guidance for women seeking to live a virtuous and spiritually fulfilling life.(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.
