This book examines a debate in the Christian church about the nature of the wine used in Communion, focusing on the idea that two different wines were used in the early church: one fermented and intoxicating, the other unfermented and non-intoxicating. The author, an expert in ancient languages, systematically examines the available evidence and concludes that the early church used only fermented wine. Along the way, the author challenges modern puritanical views of alcohol and intoxication. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the ongoing debate about alcohol.
