I recently posted a review of a book by my good friend, Randy Jaeggli<\/a>, on the subject of the Christian and alcohol consumption. As Calvin Coolidge is said to have said about a preacher’s attitude toward sin: “He was agin it.”<\/p>\n I came across an article in the Criswell Theological Review<\/a> today. The article is by Richard Land and Barrett Duke. In The Christian and Alcohol<\/a>, they appear to be ‘agin’ it also. The whole issue of the CTR is devoted to the subject of Christians and alcohol use. I commend Land and Duke’s article to you, I think they present a well-reasoned position for adopting a policy of total abstinence.Another article from the issue that is available online has to do more with the Biblical data (although the Land\/Duke article deals with many passages). This article doesn’t seem to be quite as strongly opposed to alcohol use, but it does present helpful discussion of the passages.
