In this episode of Genesis Marks the Spot, we trace the theme of wine as joy in Scripture—what it means to share in divine abundance, and how the vine tells a story of provision, blessing, and worship. This is the first of (at least) a trilogy exploring the biblical theology of wine: from joy to judgment to covenant. With stops in Genesis, Psalms, Judges, Proverbs, and Deuteronomy—and a splash of The Princess Bride—we'll see how the Bible’s portrayal of wine is more than metaphor; it’s a theological lens on joy, justice, and God’s hospitality.
