What we think of our bodies and what we wear says something about who we are and how we belong. This was the same in the ancient world. Rosemary Canavan explores the imagery of clothing and body in the first century CE Christian writing. An examination of statuary, funerary monuments and coins in this geographical location contemporaneous with the letter's writing reveals how clothing and body images were understood. This is then placed in dialogue with the metaphorical use of clothing and body in other texts, especially the Letter to the Colossians. Social identity and rhetorical studies draw on archaeological, epigraphical, iconographical and literary sources to formulate a new approach to biblical interpretation aptly named "visual exegesis."

How many priests grew up in a fashion industry? In this regard, Father Ramadhani can boast to be a rare breed. Cherishing his childhood memories with his mother whose passion was (and still is) in sewing, applying the Ignatian practice of contemplative in action, and listening to the voices from the Bible, he leads us through the inner paths in the fashion world. From buying the right fabric to dressing up and beyond, all the thirty chapters offer new metaphors for life and faith journey. Together they echo an unlikely invitation to encounter the divine in what seems to be the glamorously superficial world. This book has been designed as a month-long immersion in the fashion world. It also wants to bring together to one table fellowship the underpaid workers in many garment factories on the globe, the designers, and the supermodels. Everyone who is called to participate in the fashion world is invited to tap on the sacred, right before their very eyes every single day. Hence, “finding God in the fashion world” is not only possible, but it is more than obvious.

Many of us have the same questions and thoughts. This book shares some of those questions and answers. It is my prayer that the answers provided in this book by Pastor Franklin, through God’s word, will open your eyes as they did mine. I pray that you never stop having a desire to completely please God and that you always have an everlasting thirst to make it to heaven. By the way, I’m wearing my fine Brand-Name garment right now. Are you?
