This book, 1st published in 1874, will solidify the truth concerning alcohol in the Bible. This excellent little book, "Bible Wines: On, The Laws of Fermentation and Wines of the Ancients" by Dr. William Patton was published in 1874. It was highly recommended by Dr. Bruce Lackey, who is now deceased, in his booklet, "What the Bible Teaches About Drinking Wine," published in 1985. He said: "More than a hundred years ago, this preacher was the only one in the town where he lived who believed in total abstinence. He saw that it was necessary to make an extensive study to see what scripture taught. This book is the result of that labor and is the very best thing I have ever read on the subject." Considering the current scourge of alcohol abuse in 2020, amplified by the Covid 19 pandemic, we are republishing this helpful treatise. Stray marks in the work are secondary to the age of the document and other artifacts.

When William Patton wrote The Laws of Fermentation and the Wines of the Ancients in 1871, the temperance movement was near the height of its influence in America. The temperance movement penetrated the churches, and led to changes in the way Christians thought about the Bible, wine, and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Many of these changes, while new in the mid-nineteenth century, are still a part of the lives of ordinary Christians and churches today. (For example, most churches used real wine in the Lord's Supper before Patton's book was published; but, by 1900, most protestant churches had begun to use unfermented grape juice in the sacrament. Another example would be the "two-wine" theory, which taught Christians that "good" wine is unfermented grape juice, but "bad" wine is fermented and alcoholic.) William Patton's book promoted, defended, and reflected these changes. However, the changes brought about by Patton and other temperance thinkers should be examined in the light of the Holy Scriptures, which are the only rule of faith and practice. Should they be retained? Or is a reform necessary? A Critical Review takes a careful look at Patton's book and his assertions.
