| dc.description | The epistle to the Colossians articulates a significant theological perspective on Christian identity through the metaphor of clothing. The author uses the concepts of clothing to illustrate the believer’s transformation in Christ, framing it as both a decisive act (putting off the “old self”) and an ongoing process (putting on the “new self”). This research explores the theological significance of clothing in the Book of Colossians, where attire symbolized social standing, moral character, and religious affiliation. This article employs ancient cultural practices in conjunction with social identity theory. | en-US |
