The writer's deceit is to link the cup and the contents of wine to the cup the groom drinks and breaks at a Jewish wedding, taking the idea from Christ describing himself as the groom and us, the church, as his bride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47883664162967,"sku":"9798385276356","price":2290.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798385276356.webp?v=1781103178","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-cup-of-blessing-looking-at-the-background-to-holy-communion-in-st-johns-gospel-9798385276356","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
