Introduction
Amongst the Biblical prophets, the eschatological era is envisioned as a future time when God will bring ultimate justice, peace, and restoration to the world. The prophets describe it as an age when nations will no longer wage war, the oppressed will be lifted up, and harmony will prevail across creation. And they also describe it as a time when there will be a lot of wine, as we explore on the 182nd episode of The Jewish Drinking Show, featuring Professor John Anthony Dunne.
Biography of Guest
Professor John Anthony Dunne completed a PhD in New Testament at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where he studied under Professor N. T. Wright. Presently, he serves as Associate Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is the author of a handful of journal articles dedicated to wine in the Bible, with a forthcoming book addressing the full range of alcoholic beverages in biblical literature to be published next month by Zondervan Academic called Mountains Shall Drip Sweet Wine: A Biblical Theology of Alcohol. In addition to serving as the co-host and editor of The Two Cities podcast, he previously appeared as the featured guest on the 170th episode of The Jewish Drinking Show discussing beverages in the Bible. He also hosts an annual craft beer reception at the Society of Biblical Literature and American Academy of Religion conferences called the Society for Beer Lovers and Assorted Academic Research. If he wasn’t a Bible professor, he’d be a bartender at a craft cocktail bar.
