Excerpt from An Exposure of the Mischievous Perversions of Holy Scripture in the National Temperance Society's Publications, Addressed to Men of Sense and Candour
I may here observe that it is, at best, a laughable folly to claim Luther as a patron of total abstinence, asfidr. Samson does throughout his book. If the couplet ascribed to him be not his, it certainly was so ascribed as representing his mood: Wer liebt nicht Weib, Wein, und Gesang, Er bleibt ein N arr sein Leben lang.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the dishonest use of the Bible to promote extreme anti-alcohol views. Historically, the Temperance movement promoted total abstinence from all forms of alcohol, understanding that this was what the Bible meant when using the term 'wine', despite it having been used across cultures, times, and languages to mean a fermented drink. This book uses the original biblical languages and examines the historical context, to show the inaccuracies and distortions of the Temperance, or Prohibitionist, movement. Uncovering the biases, deception, and academic and exegetical failures of those seeking to use the Bible as a means to enforce their own views on others, this book will be of interest to anyone with an interest in the history of the Temperance movement, the history of biblical interpretation, and the relationship between religion and social movements. Itās also a compelling insight into the dangers of misrepresenting scientific, historical, and religious texts for malicious purposes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282526740_0
