RT Book T1 The conceptualization of dress in prophetic metaphors T2 Supplements to Vetus Testamentum JF Supplements to Vetus Testamentum A1 Parrott, S. J. LA English PP Leiden Boston PB Brill YR 2023 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1877136646 AB While the last four years has seen a renewed interest in dress in biblical studies, much of this work focuses on dress as object —what it is, looks like, and who wears it. In consequence, the symbolic and rhetorical function of dress in metaphors is often reduced to its function in “real life.” In response, this study bridges the conversation from what dress is to what dress is doing . By focusing on dress as subject and a concept, this study identifies constellations that hold prophetic metaphors of the investiture/divestiture of dress together with respect to identity formation/deformation, suffering, and destruction CN BT77 SN 978-90-04-67745-6 K1 Bible : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Biblical costume : Symbolic aspects K1 Apologetics K1 Christian Ethics : Anglican authors K1 Christianity DO 10.1163/9789004677456
