Publisher's Synopsis
The Apparel of Women is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian author and theologian from the early Church. The book is a treatise on the proper dress and behavior of women, according to Christian teachings. Tertullian argues that women should dress modestly and avoid excessive adornment, as this is a sign of vanity and immodesty. He also discusses the importance of women's roles in the family and in society, and how their behavior and appearance should reflect their Christian values. The book is considered an important work in the history of Christian thought, as it provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of early Christians towards gender roles and the role of women in society.(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.
