Title: Ancient Wine and the Bible
Description: Brumbelow's book on abstinence cannot be overlooked by those who insist on affirming the questionable moral assertion that consuming alcoholic beverages for pleasurable purposes remains a choice indicative of one's "freedom" in Christ. Employing solid historical sources, Brumbelow puts to rest several conventional myths, including the belief that ancients had no means to preserve natural grape juice from intoxicating fermentation as well as the more recent myth that Charles Haddon Spurgeon himself was an imbiber. - Peter Lumpkins.
