Christ, The Apostles And Wine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163138984)

""Christ, The Apostles And Wine"" by Ernest Gordon is a comprehensive exploration of the role of wine in the Bible, particularly in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the practices of the apostles. The book delves into the historical and cultural context of wine in the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world, and examines how it was used in religious rituals, social gatherings, and daily life. The author discusses the various references to wine in the Bible, including its symbolic significance as a representation of joy, abundance, and the divine presence. He also explores the controversies surrounding wine in Christian theology, such as the debate over whether Jesus actually drank wine or whether it was a non-alcoholic beverage. Through a careful analysis of biblical texts and historical sources, Gordon argues that wine played a crucial role in the development of early Christianity and continues to be an important part of religious and cultural traditions today. He also provides practical advice on how Christians can approach the consumption of wine in a responsible and ethical manner. Overall, ""Christ, The Apostles And Wine"" offers a fascinating and informative perspective on the relationship between wine and spirituality, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
