About this Course

Although at the Sermon of the Mount, Jesus exhorts us to not worry about what we will eat or wear, we live in a world that is increasing concerned about fashion and clothing.

More than before, how we dress becomes an important part of our identity and self-image. If “theology” is concerned with articulating thoughts about God, the created order, and God’s relationship with the whole of the created order, from the standpoint of faith; then “fashion” is part of the created order, as clothes are made by human beings, and worn by them; and so theology should also have something to say about fashion and dress.

In this course, we will explore the Big Questions relating to Creation and our role, but also narrowed down to one specific scope, “what we wear”. It is hoped that the theologically reflective and analytical skills acquired in course can be expanded beyond, to the question of “how we live”. .
