With the rise of the temperance movement in the late 19th century, questions about the morality of drinking alcohol became rampant. In this book, John Ellis explores the history and religious arguments for both fermented and unfermented grape juice as the proper drink for religious ceremony. This fascinating look at a lesser-known aspect of religious history sheds light on the intersection of religion and social movements.
