What’s the Story Behind this Shirt?

Not all tee shirts are created equal. The EmblemWear.art tee shirt, inspired by Jonathan Edwards’s “Images of Divine Things,” is more than a design—it’s a conversation waiting to happen. With its engraving-style design and a subtly integrated QR code, it invites viewers to pause, wonder, and ask: “What does that mean?” Ideal for coffeehouses, bookstores, conferences, and creative gatherings, this shirt turns curiosity into dialogue. Every glance becomes an entry point for gospel conversation, allowing meaning to unfold naturally through inquiry rather than confrontation. Wear history, wear depth, wear a story. And watch as everyday encounters transform into thoughtful, meaningful exchange. Each apparel shipment comes with a thank you card along with a brief set of questions to guide encounters toward spiritual and even gospel conversations.

“What a wonderful idea. These emblems of divine truth, inspired by Jonathan Edwards, will put our minds on things above, where Christ is (Colossians 3). There is no more exciting place to be.”

Gerald McDermott

“Jonathan Edwards is Christianity’s preeminent theologian of beauty. His typological vision of reality was rich and deep. These shirts with emblems are beautiful and provocative pointers to the depths of reality he plumbed so masterfully.”

— Jonathan Edwards —

“If we look on these shadows of divine things as the voice of God, purposely, by them, teaching us these and those spiritual and divine things, to show of what excellent advantage it will be, how agreeably and clearly it will tend to convey instruction to our minds, and to impress things on the mind, and to affect the mind. By that we may as it were hear God speaking to us. Wherever we are and whatever we are about, we may see divine things excellently represented and held forth, and it will abundantly tend to confirm the Scriptures, for there is an excellent agreement between these things and the Holy Scriptures.” – “Images,” no. 70
