Hard cider helped build North America, and this ode to the fermented drink
sometimes referred to as scrumpy begins with a snapshot of that forgotten
history and then goes on to present the most comprehensive guide to tasting
and appreciating the diversity of today's rapidly growing cider movement.
The book offers a unique analysis of the New Testament household codes found in Colossians and Ephesians, challenging the view that they merely reflect cultural norms. Hering explores their theological and ethical motivations, questioning whether these codes serve practical purposes or convey deeper theological concerns. By situating the Haustafeln within their historical context, the study reveals their significance and implications for contemporary Christian ethics. This work is essential for understanding the complexities of New Testament teachings and their relevance today.
