Synopsis

This book argues that the Old Testament does not enjoin the use of wine as a beverage, but rather suggests that total abstinence was required of certain groups, such as priests, Nazarites, and Rechabites. The author contends that Christians should follow the example of Jesus, who drank no wine, and that any use of wine carries the risk of temptation and addiction. The book discusses the physical and spiritual dangers of wine consumption, and presents a strong case for total abstinence as the only safe and consistent course for Christians to follow.
