00:00Shalom, brothers and sisters. Welcome back. I thank you guys again for joining me today.

00:05Hey, today I got a book review I want to do, and this is a book I've had for the longest time.

00:10In fact, I'm going to read it again because I haven't read it for a while,

00:14but it's called Wine, The Biblical Imperative Total Absence by Robert P. Teachout.

00:22It's a little book right here, but I've had this book for quite a while,

00:27and there's another book called Wine in the Bible that I did a video on,

00:35and it's sort of related to this about is wine, alcoholic wine, is it permissible to drink?

00:43Is it, you know, when they talk about Yeshua when he was at the wedding

00:50and then he provided the wine in the jars, you know, turned the water into wine,

00:54was that alcoholic or was it grape juice?

00:58See, wine is fruit of the vine, but it's not clear sometimes if it's fermented or unfermented.

01:06But anyways, let me tell you a little bit about this book here.

01:11Let's show you how many pages.

01:12It's not a very big book, like I said.

01:14It's 97 pages.

01:15It says here, Dr. Teachout holds degrees from Baptist Bible Seminary,

01:25Los Angeles Baptist Theological Seminary, and Dallas Theological Seminary.

01:32For 10 years, he was a full-time professor in two graduate seminaries,

01:37serving as chairman of the Old Testament Department and registered at both San Francisco Baptist

01:46Theological Seminary and Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary.

01:51He now serves as pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church in Taylor, Michigan.

01:57The title of his dissertation at Dallas Seminary was

02:03The Use of Wine in the Old Testament.

02:07So, that's that right there.

02:131983 was a copyright of this book.

02:18It's got an introduction in here and then breaks it down into chapters.

02:24Like chapter 5, it says the normal objections answered.

02:28In the back here, he's got indexes and

02:34breaks stuff down.

02:38He breaks stuff down in chapters back here.

02:40The endnotes, of course.

02:43Appendix.

02:43He's got a couple appendixes right in here written in the back.

02:48Biblical references.

02:50Right there, biblical references.

02:52He's got that.

02:54But I'm sure this book is still in print.

02:56I don't know where you can get it.

02:59Online bookstore, Amazon, eBay, somewhere like that.

03:03I'm sure you can get it.

03:04But, yeah, I haven't read this book.

03:06I've had this book for over 20 years.

03:09And I've read it a few times, but I just haven't read it lately.

03:12Because I've got so many books, I've got so much projects, so much stuff going on right now.

03:18But, yeah, I'm interested in reading this book again here sometime real soon.

03:23But, yeah, I encourage you guys to get this.

03:24And if you guys know anything, you know, if you've read this book, come across it, comment below.

03:29Let me know what you think about it and everything else.

03:33Yeah, and if not, if you get this book and read it and study it, just let me know what you thought about it.

03:39You know, it's a controversy as far as was the wine in the Bible, was it fermented, unfermented?

03:46Is it a sin to drink wine?

03:50Yeah.

03:51How much do you drink wine?

03:53Is, you know, drunkenness?

03:55Is drunkenness okay or it's not okay?

03:58The Bible does talk about drunkenness not being very good.

04:01You see that in the Old Testament, like, what Proverbs, Psalms, they talk about being drunk and what it does to people.

04:12But, yeah, just get this book.

04:16Get this book.

04:16Let me know what you think about it.

04:17And I don't think I have anything else to say about it or anything.

04:23I feel like I'm missing something.

04:25But maybe after I end this, it'll come up and say, oh, Eureka, I forgot to say that.

04:31But, anyways, thanks again.

04:33And may God bless you and keep you.

04:37Till we meet again.
