A sharp, scholarly look at how temperance arguments twist scripture—and what readers should watch for.

This edition examines how certain temperance writings claim authority from ancient texts while selectively using sources. It guides readers through a careful, evidence-based discussion of wine, the Passover, and how biblical verses are interpreted in temperance literature, without promising easy answers.

See how multiple sources are weighed and compared, from ancient texts to modern commentary.
Learn how terms for wine and feeding traditions have been used in debates about prohibition and morality.
Understand common pitfalls in argument, such as taking phrases out of their original context.
Get a clear sense of how to read supporting citations and what counts as persuasive evidence.

Ideal for readers interested in a critical, historical look at temperance debates and how scripture is used in public discourse.
