Christ as Majestic Judge vs. Christ as the Lamb Hahn convincingly demonstrates that Scripture is not a dead letter, but rather a great, living gift from God.

Essential reading for all Catholics Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith. In The Lamb's Supper, Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message. Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king. Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

Scott Hahn has the rare ability to explain the essential teachings of Catholicism in a totally accessible manner. Rather than burdening the reader with difficult or arcane references and arguments, he writes of familiar feelings and situations and allows the theology to unfold naturally. In First Comes Love, Hahn turns his attention to the search for a sense of belonging, revealing the intimate connection between the families men and women create on earth and the divine family, the Holy Trinity. Delving into the Gospels, Hahn shows that family terminology--words like brother, sister, mother, father, and home--dominates Jesus' speech and the writings of His first followers, and that these very words illuminate Christianity's central ideas. As he explores the fatherhood of God, the marriage of the Church to Christ, and the all-enveloping role of the Holy Spirit, Hahn deepens readers' understanding of the sacraments, teaches them how to create a family life in the image of the Trinity, and demonstrates the ways in which the analogy of the family applies to every aspect of Catholicism and its practices--from the role of "father" embodied by the ancient patriarchs and contemporary parish priests, to the comfort and guidance offered by the brothers and sisters who comprise the Communion of Saints, to the nurturing embrace of Mary, the mother of all Christians. Through real-life examples (both humorous and compassionate) and quotations drawn from the Scriptures, Hahn makes it clear that no matter what sort of family readers come from--no matter what sort of "dysfunction" they have experienced--they can find a family in the Church. Reaching out to newcomers and to lifelong Christians alike, First Comes Love is an invitation to discover a true home in the divine.

? Unser himmlischer Vater sehnt sich danach, jeden Einzelnen von uns von seiner brennenden Liebe zu überzeugen, von dieser Barmherzigkeit, die uns dazu beruft und befähigt, an seinem eigenen göttlichen Leben Anteil zu haben - an diesem glühenden Strom der Liebe. Die Bibel hat die Höhepunkte eines göttlichen Dramas festgehalten und zwar nicht als trockene Geschichtsstunde, sondern sie ist vielmehr eine leidenschaftliche Liebesgeschichte. Die erstaunliche Geschichte Gottes, der kam, um das Verlorene zu suchen und zu retten - unter unermesslichen eigenen Opfern. Gott inspirierte die biblischen Schriftsteller, die Prophetien, Gleichnisse und poetische Dichtungen mitteilten, welche in modernen Geschichtsbüchern so nicht vorkommen. Das macht die Bibel nicht weniger historisch, nur anders - ganz anders.? Scott Hahn schafft uns einen neuen Zugang zum Alten Bund. Man erkennt plötzlich: Diese Menschen waren ja wie wir heute. Sie hatten die gleichen Probleme, die gleichen Fehler, Schwächen und Vorlieben. Sie strauchelten und erhoben sich wieder wie wir. Sie litten unter den gleichen Konflikten wie sie auch heute die Welt erschüttern. Gerade der Vergleich im Hinblick auf die heutigen Ereignisse in Palästina und Israel mit Gottes Volk aus dem Alten Bund ist hochinteressant. Gott, unser Vater, hat seinem Volk Treue versprochen. Nie wird er sein Volk im Stich lassen. Diese Botschaft kristallisiert sich deutlich heraus. Das heißt jedoch nicht, dass Gottes Volk Fehler machen kann wann und wie immer es will. O nein, der Vater lässt sie die Konsequenzen ihres halsstarrigen und trotzigen Verhaltens sehr wohl spüren. Aber er verzeiht auch immer wieder - und er hat eine unendliche Geduld mit uns Menschen. Sein Erbarmen trägt uns über alles hinweg.

Denna märkliga bok handlar om sambanden mellan Uppenbarelseboken och Mässan. Lammets måltid - Mässan som himlen på jorden sammanför flera olika andliga sanningar som var och en är viktiga för en bekännande kristen. Sanningar som, ytligt sett, inte verkar ha något med varandra att göra: världens undergång och den dagliga Mässan; Apokalypsen och Herrens måltid; Jesu återkomst och vardagslivets enformighet. Sambanden mellan dessa andliga sanningar är inte någon nyupptäckt, redan östkyrkans fäder från 100-talet och 500 år framåt gjorde denna eskatologiska tolkning. Scott Hahn presenterar i Lammets måltid - Mässan som himlen på jorden denna kunskap på nytt. Hans framställning är på en gång engagerad, kunnig, djupt andlig och närmast underhållande. Mässan är en oändligt rik verklighet. Det finns lika många vägar att teologiskt närma sig den som det finns till mysteriet kring Kristus själv. Det eskatologiska tillvägagångssättet som används i denna bok är ett av de mest intressanta och fruktbara.

The author of Hail, Holy Queen and The Lamb's Supper provides a thought-provoking and illuminative study of the Catholic Church's teachings on confession and forgiveness in a detailed explanation of the sacrament of Reconciliation that reveals how it becomes an essential key to spiritual growth.

As seen on EWTN, bestselling author Scott Hahn unveils the mysteries of the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals. Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb's Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.
