Overview
In-8. Pp. [4], 23
Late seventeenth-century Lutheran academic dissertation that reads Genesis 49:11 ("He Shall Wash His Robe in Wine, and His Garment in the Blood of Grapes") as the starting point for a philological and theological inquiry into prophecy, Christology, and sacramental language. The author traces the synonymous pairing of "wine" and "blood of grapes" through Hebrew exegesis, advances a Messianic reading focused on the Passion with John 19:34 as hinge, treats Christ's humanity and the purification of the Church, and mounts an explicit anti-Reformed rebuttal to Piscator on figurative language and Eucharistic theology.
