Publisher's Synopsis
In this insightful and provocative book, Frederic Richard Lees takes on one of the most contentious debates in biblical scholarship: the question of whether wine in the Bible refers exclusively to fermented grape juice or whether it can include other alcoholic beverages. He provides a thorough analysis of the arguments on both sides of the debate and concludes with a compelling case for the traditional view of wine in the Bible. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in biblical studies or the history of alcohol in religious contexts.
