From vineyards and harvests to feasts and the Lord's Supper, wine runs through the story of Scripture as a powerful symbol of God's blessing, presence and salvation.
In The Cup of Salvation, Mark Scarlata uncovers the rich biblical theology behind this familiar image, revealing how it points us to God's purposes for creation and his redeeming work in Christ.
As he traces the theme from Genesis to Revelation, Scarlata explores what the Bible's imagery of wine has to say about contemporary questions of creation care, community, consumerism, the sacraments and the wise stewardship of God's gifts.
Richly rooted in Scripture and deeply relevant for today, this book invites readers to rediscover one of the Bible's most compelling pictures of God's generous salvation.
