In What Wine Did Jesus Make and Why? - The Rediscovery of Knowledge that was Lost for Centuries Ignatius le Roux shares how he and his wife, Marina, through careful research discovered what wine Jesus made and why this discovery is significant. Drawing on experimental reconstructions of ancient winemaking techniques, traditional Jewish wedding customs, recent archaeological findings from ancient wine estates, and knowledge gained through the filming of Bible land tours, this book shows that the wine of the Bible and its use vastly differs from that of modern wine. To illustrate this, the readers are guided on a captivating journey back to Israel in Biblical times, where they look at what Jesus did at the wedding in Cana, how wine was produced in ancient times, and so much more. Come along to rediscover knowledge that has been lost for centuries! This book reads like an adventurous journey of discovery, blending history, theology, and practical insight. More Detail concerning the Journey of Discovery On this journey of discovery, Ignatius le Roux takes readers on a tour to the Israel of the time of Jesus where: * We attend the wedding feast where Jesus turned water into wine, exploring the customs and traditions of these celebrations. * We discover what the "good wine" was as well as that of "inferior quality" that was served on such occasions. * We travel further back to the days of Noah, Lot, Solomon and Daniel to "taste" the wine that people of these times would have known. * We learn from the works of ancient scholars such as Pliny, Cato and Columella, what ancient wine and wine making consisted of. * We glimpse a recently excavated wine estate dating back to the time of Paul's missionary journeys. * We visit a South African wine estate where Ignatius and Marina experimentally recreated ancient winemaking methods. * We learn what "new wine" and "new wineskins" were as well as why Timothy had to use wine for his stomach ailment. * We delve into biblical expressions such as "addicted to much wine" and the Corinthians being "drunk" at the Lord's Supper. * We are surprised by the profound prophecy Jesus fulfilled through changing the water into wine. * We discover what wine our heavenly Bridegroom will serve us at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. * And much more . . .
