Wein ist ein Gottesgeschenk

According to biblical and Christian understanding, wine has more than just a symbolic or cultic significance. It is a precious gift from God that profoundly influences our relationship with creation. Wine is a key to a holistic spirituality that sees God at work in all things, including the labor of winemakers and the joy of enjoying a good glass of wine. Gisela Kreglinger elaborates on this under the following headings: Wine in the Bible, in Church History, at the Last Supper, wine and the communal meal, wine and mindfulness, the winemaker as a practicing theologian, technology, spirituality and wine, wine and health, wine and alcohol abuse, wine, viticulture and pastoral care. “I am grateful for this wonderful book” (Jürgen Moltmann). “A must-read, absolutely essential” (Carolo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement).
