'Mark Scarlata's examination of the place of wine in Jewish and Christian scriptures is about so much more than wine. The significance of the land, the meaning of work and ritual, the call to care for creation and communities, the relationship between God and humanity – all these topics and more are on illuminating display in this finely conceived book. Prepare to have your drinking and thinking transformed.' Norman Wirzba, Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Theology, Duke University
