Publisher's Synopsis
In "The Apostle Paul's Meat Argument," A. J. Parry delves into a specific passage in the New Testament to address a pressing social issue of the late 19th century: the consumption of alcohol. Parry meticulously examines Paul's teachings on meat offered to idols, drawing parallels to the ethical considerations surrounding drinking customs. The book argues that Christian conduct should be guided by principles of love, self-control, and concern for the well-being of others.
Parry's analysis offers a historical perspective on the temperance movement within Christianity, exploring the challenges and complexities faced by believers seeking to live out their faith in a society grappling with widespread alcohol consumption. This work provides valuable insights into the historical interpretations of scripture and the application of biblical principles to contemporary social issues.
