Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the biblical testimony on alcohol, positing that moderate alcohol consumption was not widely practiced in Bible times, and that wine and other alcoholic beverages were often unfermented. The author examines the Hebrew and Greek words used to describe wine, arguing that many of them refer to freshly pressed grape juice or other unfermented beverages. The author also contends that the Bible promotes temperance, pointing to passages that warn against drunkenness and advocate for sobriety. This perspective challenges the common view that the Bible condones or encourages moderate alcohol consumption and sheds new light on the role of alcohol in ancient Israel.
