Last month The Book Club at Desiring Virtue read Modest: Men and Women Clothed in the Gospel by
Tim Challies and R.W. Glenn. Toward the end of the month I asked you,
the readers of Desiring Virtue, to share your questions on modesty
(either from the book or on the topic of modesty in general). I sent
five of these questions off to Tim who was kind enough to reply to each
of them.
I would like to thank everyone who submitted questions (you made it
really hard to choose just five!) and also of course thank Tim for
taking the time out of his busy schedule to address Desiring Virtue’s
readers. So, without further ado, here are your questions and Tim
Challies’ answers…
I really liked how, in the book Modest,
you discussed modesty as a heart issue, rather than simply giving a
list of dos and don’ts. I could tell from the tone of the book that you
were trying very hard to avoid making legalistic statements, but I was
left wondering–how would you describe a modest heart? -Amy
Thanks for the kind words, Amy. It has been interesting to me that
one of the most common critiques of the book is that we did not provide
that tear-out list of do’s and don’ts that could be taped to the mirror
or stuck to the fridge. Somewhere in all of us is the lazy legalist that
really just wants to cut to the chase and deal with rules. Continue at Desiring Virtue
