Notes on the Bible
The Bible is divided into two parts: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the Christian Bible (New Testament). The Hebrew Bible consists of thirty-nine named books accepted by Jews and Protestants as Holy Scripture. The Old Testament also contains those thirty-nine books plus seven to fifteen more named books or parts of books called the Apocrypha or the Deuterocanonical Books; the Old Testament is accepted by Catholics and several other Christian denominations as Holy Scripture. The Christian Bible, consisting of twenty-seven named books, is also called the New Testament; it is accepted by Christians as Holy Scripture. Thus, in this work:
—Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), abbreviated HB (OT), indicates that a book is found both in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament;
—Old Testament (Apocrypha), abbreviated OT (A), indicates that a book is found only in the Old Testament Apocrypha and not in the Hebrew Bible;
—and Christian Bible (New Testament), abbreviated CB (NT), indicates that a book is found only in the Christian Bible or New Testament.
In notating biblical texts, the first number refers to the chapter in the book, and the second number refers to the verse within the chapter. Thus, HB (OT) Isa 7:11 means that the quotation comes from Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 11. OT (A) Sirach 39:30 means that the quotation comes from Sirach, chapter 39, verse 30. CB (NT) Mark 6:2 means that the quotation comes from Mark’s Gospel, chapter 6, verse 2.
In the HB (OT) and the OT (A), the reader often sees LORD (note all capital letters). Because God’s name (Yahweh or YHWH, referred to as the Tetragrammaton) is not to be pronounced, the name Adonai (meaning Lord) is substituted for Yahweh when a biblical text is read. When a biblical text is translated and printed, LORD (cf. Gen 2:4) is used to alert the reader to what the text actually states: Yahweh. Because some scholars referenced in this book use Yahweh or YHWH, the author has maintained their usage but presented LORD in parentheses after the divine name. Furthermore, when the biblical author writes Lord Yahweh, printers present Lord GOD (note all capital letters for GOD; cf. Gen 15:2) to avoid the printed ambiguity of LORD LORD. When the reference is to Jesus, the word printed is Lord (note capital L and lower case letters; cf. Luke 11:1). When writing about a lord (note all lower case letters (cf. Matt 18:25) with servants, no capital L is used.
Introduction
The title of this book, Fruit of the Vine: A Biblical Spirituality of Wine, describes grapes grown in vineyards and processed into wine during the time biblical authors were writing their books. Using only biblical references, this book explores vineyard stories (preparing land, planting vines, digging a press, building a tower, etc.); picking and processing grapes; making, storing, measuring, tasting, and drinking wine; the effects of drinking wine; those who did not drink wine; the offering of wine; and wine as a metaphor for life, abundance, poverty, wrath, and blood. With almost five hundred biblical references to such aspects of vine-growing and wine-making, only a few can be explored here.
In fifteen chapters, there are seventy reflections, the goal of which is to develop a biblical spirituality of wine. Each chapter has two to six entries based on the chapter title, except for chapter 1 which has twelve entries. Each part of every chapter consists of five parts.
1. The name of an aspect of vine-growing or wine-making indicates the focus of the chapter.
2. A few verses or sentences from a biblical text are provided. The text may be from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), the Old Testament (Apocrypha), or the Christian Bible (New Testament).
3. A reflection follows the text. The reflection presents some of the context for the text, attempting to surface its meaning. It also presents other references to the topic in other biblical sources. The short reflection is not to be understood as exhaustive; it is but a sampling, a sketch of the topic in biblical literature. It is designed to get the reader to stop and consider the wondrous works of God in wine.
4. The reflection is followed by a question for personal meditation and/or journaling. The question functions as a guide for personal appropriation of the message of the reflection, thus leading the reader into personal meditation and/or journaling and personal prayer. The meditation/journal question is designed to foster a process of actively applying the reflection to one’s life. The question gets one started; where the meditation/journaling goes cannot be predetermined. It may be a single statement or an idea with which one lingers for a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days. The process has no end; the reader decides when he or she has finished exploring the topic because he or she needs to attend to other things.
5. A prayer concludes the exercise and summarizes the original theme announced in the title, which was explored in the reflection and which served as the foundation for the meditation/journaling.
The word spirituality is formed from the word spirit. It means the fact or condition of being spirit, and it refers to that aspect each person shares—that invisible nature some call soul,
