I am reading his book and hearing his argument for total abstinence. JOJ will be jumping for joy to read this and believe me I will read him carefully. Has anyone read the book and what do you think? How does he make better arguments than Gentry? I will also be reading "Drinking with Calvin and Luther" by Jim West as well to get a better perspective on the history of alcohol in the church throughout the centuries. I have only read the introduction and Randy has cited much good evidence to the argument of alcohol abuse and to that we can agree that alcohol can be abused. He also says on a page that drinks that the Bible calls strong drink or beer had a ethanol as low as 0.5%. This is a little lower than the Mike's hard lemonade light beverage. Is this true or false?
