The Long March Home

Fiction

“Not since James Jones has anyone written so well and tellingly of the war in the Pacific and the largely untold story of the ‘Battling Bastards of Bataan.’ Authentic, raw, and heartbreaking, this compelling tale of love and war and friendship in the face of impossible odds is a powerful and unputdownable read. A tremendous story.”

The Mountains Shall Drip Sweet Wine

Theology

“John Anthony Dunne has brewed up for us a rich and refreshing biblical theology of alcohol, a theme that is as vital as it is (until now) underexplored. His distillation of the technical, cultural, and theological aspects of fermented drinks is sure to gladden the hearts of many. Three cheers for the author! REV. DR. ANDREW JUDD, Deputy Principal and Lecturer in Old Testament, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia, and author of Modern Genre Theory: An Introduction for Biblical Studies With a range of insights into not only the material production of alcoholic beverages but also thoughtful understanding within material, literary, and social contexts, Dunne’s book is clearly the new essential work for anyone interested in understanding drinking in the Bible. Whether wine, beer, or otherwise, Dunne’s work sheds light not only on this consumptive act in the Bible but also on biblical society and life more broadly. Whether one is a Jew, a Christian, or just otherwise interested in biblical drinking, this is an indispensable and comprehensive look at this element of biblical life.”
