I was just reading a book given to me for Christmas from the Armstrongs titled Beer, by Michael Jackson (Side note: This is not the one-gloved, baby dangling over the balcony, Jesus juice popstar, but the highly respected in the beer community beer enthusiast pictured above). I read something rather interesting and wondered if we should have been drinking that mock wine during communion. Here is the excerpt:
"The Aramaic scrolls that were the foundation for the Bible have Jesus miraculously turning water into "strong drink." The Greeks translated this as "wine," but the Saxon version of the Gospels refers instead to "beer.""
Makes you wonder a little bit doesn't it? It makes me even more excited about a possible future in the beer industry.
