Excerpt from Oinos: A Discussion of the Bible Wine QuestionA single word further may be necessary in explanation of the form of the discussion. The work was written in conformity with the original title given to the first article as published in The Methodist Quarterly Review for January, 1882, namely, Was Jesus a wine-bibber 2 That question, as a starting point, determined the course of the argument and the arrange ment of the material. But yielding to the counsels of those in whose judgment I place confidence, I have exchanged that title for another, which better describes the broader ground covered by the discussion.In conclusion I may be permitted to express the hope that this volume will commend itself to the sober judgment and the candid scholarship of its readers, and contribute something toward the spread of scriptural temperance over the land.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
