Summary

The article explores the clothing worn during New Testament times, specifically focusing on the two main garments: the chiton and himation. It discusses various instances from the New Testament and ancient Greek and Roman writings to understand the actual meaning of nakedness and the importance of clothing, suggesting that the concern about nakedness in Scripture is subordinate to other spiritual matters.
