But the rest of his one-liner on 1 Corinthians 11:30 is priceless: “Even death sometimes resulted from their drunken orgies, either naturally, or by God’s direct visitation.”8 I love the thought of God the Father descending from the clouds to slap the wineglasses from the tipsy Greeks to deliver the touch of death. What an unexpected climax to an otherwise perfectly good orgy.
