The Wine Question

Is drinking alcohol a sin?

Did Jesus drink wine?

Was biblical wine fermented-or was it simply grape juice?

Few topics inside the Church generate more debate, confusion, and division than alcohol. Entire denominations have taken opposing positions, often built more on tradition and assumption than on Scripture itself.

In The Wine Question, author Nate Fortner invites readers into a careful, Scripture-centered investigation of what the Bible actually teaches about wine, strong drink, drunkenness, and Christian liberty.

Rather than promoting indulgence or enforcing prohibition, this book seeks something far more important:

Truth.

Drawing from the original Hebrew and Greek words, historical context, Old Testament law, and the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, this book examines alcohol from Genesis to Revelation with clarity and balance.

Inside these pages, you will discover:

What the Bible really means when it says "wine"
The difference between fermented and unfermented wine in Scripture
Why God sometimes presents wine as a blessing and other times as a warning
Whether Jesus drank wine-and what that means for believers today
Why drunkenness is always condemned
How Christian liberty must be governed by love and self-control
What Scripture reveals about wine in the Kingdom of God

This is not a denominational argument.

This is not a cultural opinion.

This is a Scripture-only examination of one of Christianity's most debated topics-written for believers who want honesty, depth, and biblical balance.
