144. Into Wine

Description

Special thanks to Undeceptions Season 16 major sponsor Zondervan Academic.

If we’re talking only about liquids you drink—because the water in the Bible is washed in, crossed over, and even walked on once—wine is no.1.

Wine appears more than 200 times in the Bible. And almost all of them are positive references—not critiques.

Christianity has a long, rich history with wine. But oftentimes, we’ve made it much more complicated and, at times, harmful.
