    Summary note
    "Dressing and adorning of the body is a prominent motif woven within the writings of the Hebrew Bible. This volume adds to the growing literature on the topic, demonstrating ways in which both dress and the body communicate cultural and religious beliefs and practices. The body's lived experience is the topic of section one, the body lived. The body and the social construction of identity is discussed in section two, the body cultured, while section three, the body adorned, analyzes the performative nature of dress in the biblical text"-- Provided by publisher.
