Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America

Rating:
Summary: Nothing but the Truth!!!
Review: Jeff Pollard has, indeed, taken on the "sacred cow" of our culture - the swimsuit, essentially, but more importantly, he has shown by the sources he quotes from outside the Christian church, that the agenda of the fashion industry has been to progressively "undress" the American public. He moves on to show what the Bible teaches concerning modesty, and how the Christian believer has been duped and deceived into believing that this is "normal behavior," when in fact it hasn't been.

This is a powerful tool in the hands of anyone who wants to shed light on this subject, especially to a youth pastor who goes swimming with his group, and the kinds of swim wear which the young people put on. Or even to the Christian who has held that "there is nothing wrong with this," or that "everyone is doing it," or that "I'm not naked in front of anybody." This is not a "put down" or a call to condemnation, but an appeal to examine ourselves in light of biblical teaching as to how our behaviors are impacting our culture, and how we are called to be "separate" and not be conformed to our world and its falleness.

Towards the end of this book, Jeff Pollard reveals what the connection between the undressing of America and the current states of affair are in pornography, and how easy it has become to see how the swimsuit and pornography have led to the complete undressing of our culture and what the "uncovering of our nakedness" has produced and what it means from a biblical point of view. Ultimately, it has been rotten fruit, and we need to capture again the essence of modesty in dress if we are to avoid the judgment of God.

Compelling reading, and SOBERING!!! Highly recommended!!!
