Drinking with Calvin and Luther Book

Have a pint with the Puritans?

Luther, Calvin and Zwingli—these men are better known for their theology than their taste in beer. Charles Wesley and George Whitefield—these men are known more for their witness than their wine. Prepared to learn something new?

In this completely revised and expanded version of his underground classic, Rev. Jim West takes you through centuries of Christian history, looking at the role alcohol played in the church during the Protestant Reformation, in the American colonies, into the time of Charles Spurgeon and beyond.

With humor and wit, West winds through time showing in generation after generation how God's saints have enjoyed his many good gifts in reverence, thankfulness, and moderation.

"You will not only furrow your brow over exegetical profundity as you read, but will split a gut over historical hilarity." 
—R.C. Sproul Jr., from the foreword

"Absolutely a 'must-read.'"
