Summary
The author recalls a family trip to a hot spring where most people were naked, challenging his Christian upbringing. To gain biblical understanding, he conducted a study and found that direct biblical arguments against nudity were based on assumed interpretations. Furthermore, he provides biblical examples of passages suggesting that nudity was not inherently shameful and was depicted in different contexts, arguing that public nudity is not inherently immoral based on the Bible.
