A Cover for Glory A Biblical Defense for Headcoverings

Few practices in Christian tradition have been as quietly contested — or as richly meaningful — as the headcovering. In A Cover for Glory, Dale Partridge offers a careful, pastorally grounded biblical defense of the practice: one that takes Scripture seriously, engages church history honestly, and speaks with compassion to modern believers wrestling with the question.

With a foreword by Joel Webbon, this book works through 1 Corinthians 11 with exegetical care, examining the theological significance of headcovering as a sign of order, glory, and reverence in corporate worship. Partridge addresses the common objections, traces the historical witness of the church, and makes the case not merely for a tradition but for its enduring spiritual meaning.

For women seeking to understand the practice, for husbands and pastors seeking to teach it with clarity, and for anyone curious about a conviction gaining renewed attention in Reformed and confessional circles, this is the most thoughtful and accessible treatment available.
