Excerpt from The Bible and Temperance, or the True Scriptural Basis of the Temperance Movement: In Which the Writings of Rev. A. M. Wilson, and Professors Watts, Wallace, and Others, on the Wines of the Bible, Are Examined, and Their Arguments Answered
Medical science demonstrates that intoxicating liquors act as poisons on the organs of the human body, that they neither warm nor nourish the body; and therefore medical science gives its testimony also in favour of Temperance.
Morality and science are thus found on the side of Temperance; but what does the Bible say? If on the side of morality and science, it must also be on the side of Temperance. As interpreted by many, the Bible appears rather unfavourable to temperance than other wise therefore, it must be misunderstood and its teach ing misrepresented. As the Word of God, the Bible must ever be in accord with science and morality; and if my are found on our side on the temperance question, so must the Bible. It is time, therefore, that the teaching of the Bible on this subject should be vindicated, and its accordance with science and morality established. This is the task we have set before us in the following pages: how we have succeeded we leave it to others to judge.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the biblical testimony on alcohol, positing that moderate alcohol consumption was not widely practiced in Bible times, and that wine and other alcoholic beverages were often unfermented. The author examines the Hebrew and Greek words used to describe wine, arguing that many of them refer to freshly pressed grape juice or other unfermented beverages. The author also contends that the Bible promotes temperance, pointing to passages that warn against drunkenness and advocate for sobriety. This perspective challenges the common view that the Bible condones or encourages moderate alcohol consumption and sheds new light on the role of alcohol in ancient Israel.
