Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the dishonest use of the Bible to promote extreme anti-alcohol views. Historically, the Temperance movement promoted total abstinence from all forms of alcohol, understanding that this was what the Bible meant when using the term 'wine', despite it having been used across cultures, times, and languages to mean a fermented drink. This book uses the original biblical languages and examines the historical context, to show the inaccuracies and distortions of the Temperance, or Prohibitionist, movement. Uncovering the biases, deception, and academic and exegetical failures of those seeking to use the Bible as a means to enforce their own views on others, this book will be of interest to anyone with an interest in the history of the Temperance movement, the history of biblical interpretation, and the relationship between religion and social movements. Itâs also a compelling insight into the dangers of misrepresenting scientific, historical, and religious texts for malicious purposes.
