This book tables the controversial topic of the biblical view of alcohol. What does the Bible really teach? The Biblical text seems to sometimes approve and sometimes condemn the use of alcohol. God did not intend for us to exist in this chaotic mist! There must be an answer, a solution... we must be able to arrive at the truth as set forth by the Author of the Scriptures. Dr. McDowell's painstaking research deeply probes the Word of God and he buttresses his findings with historical and scientific evidence. This three-fold cord - The Biblical, the Historical and the Scientific - is not quickly broken.
