Summary

Chapter 1 discusses the Hebrew Bible and a theology of wine as blessing and gift that is used for meals, feasts, and cultic offerings and foreshadows the prophetic vision of abundance in the vine when God’s kingdom comes. Rootedness in the soil and in life becomes a metaphor through the vine and offers a model for life in the digital, technological world.
