What Would Jesus Wear?
Manage episode 393966380 series 3512279
There's so much we get wrong about clothing and dress in the 1st Century. Did Jewish people dress differently than gentiles? No. Did most men have long hair and beards? No. Did Jesus and the disciples rock sandals with socks? Yes!
Clothing is an essential component of culture, yet it's been woefully ignored by historians. Today we change all that. Helen and Dave are excited to welcome Katie Turner to the podcast. Katie dispels 1st-Century fashion myths and answers our burning questions about ancient underwear, veiling and yes — socks!
To hear more from Katie, check out her podcast Gods & Moviemakers about the best and worst Bible movies.
We know you want to see pics of those ancient sandal socks...
- Red Socks from Egypt
- Striped Socks from Egypt
- Fragments of a Linen Sock from Masada (Israel)
- Leather Sandal from Masada
