WINE AND THE BIBLE - Part 2

INTRO: In our last message I set out before you the Scanlon case and in the title I've given to these messages I have called Christianity's view of wine in the Bible the Scanlon error. So let me refresh our memories. Chicago policeman Richard Scanlon had been shot. In connection with the crime a man by name of Dixon was in custody. Piece by piece, item by item, witness by witness, the evidence tightened a noose around Dixon's neck. There were fingerprints and a weapon, eyewitnesses and a motive, a wounded cop and a defendant with a history of violence. Now the criminal justice system was poised to trip the trap door that would leave Dixon dangling by the weight of his own guilt.
