Reviews

This study of clothing and adornment, as elements of material culture, affords a fresh opportunity to illuminate conceptions of human embodiment * Sandra Jacobs, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *

This book stands out instantly because of its numerous illustrations of archaeological artifacts that contextualize and provide visual evidence for her points. However, it is her fresh approach and her astute observations that make this a compelling read. * Antonios Finitsis, Pacific Lutheran University, Review of Biblical Literature * This study of clothing and adornment, as elements of material culture, affords a fresh opportunity to illuminate conceptions of human embodiment * Sandra Jacobs, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *
