Makes the crucifixion and the Eucharist make sense

Dr. Hahn has a genius for making complicated concepts easy to understand. He leads us through the Old Testament and shows us how the old covenant leads up to and culminates in the Last Supper and crucifixion; and the new covenant begins with the resurrection and is perpetuated through the Eucharist. I have a much better understanding of the crucifixion and the Eucharist now that Hahn has put it into the context of Jewish history. My only complaint is Hahn's casual -- sometimes chatty -- writing style and occasional paraphrasing of biblical exchanges into modern American vernacular. While I understand that this book was written for a broad audience, I was still mildly irritated; that said, Hahn's brilliant insight makes this quip hardly worth mentioning.

So brilliant!

This book is incredible. Scott Hahn did his dissertation in covenant theology, and this book goes through the 6 covenants in an easy to understand manner.

Another wonderful read by Scott Hahn!

Dr. Hahn has yet another winner with this easy-to-read book! One of the big bases of his scriptural analyses is the theme of God's covenant with His people. This book is a real treasure, explaining the covenental promises of the Lord in language and style that's easily understood. As with all his books, this is presented in Dr. Hahn's reader-friendly style.

Seeking Advice

All I want to do at present is study the Gospels with a little help from Scott Hahn, so I think Hahn's books on the Gospels of Mark and Matthew would be a more appropriate beginning point for a recently converted Catholic to begin reading the Gospels for the first time since conversion from Anglicanism. I already know about the covenantal relationship developed between God and the Hebrews in the Torah. Any advice from a fellow Christian, particularly a fellow Roman Catholic, will be very much appreciated.

Haven't actually read it yet but . . .

I haven't actually read this myself yet but it was recommended by a good friend who has never steered me wrong and in fact and always pointed me to really, really good religious and philosophical books. Hahn is also a writter who is very familiar to me and I have liked all his other books I have read although I find them not to always be and easy read.

A convert to Catholicism, Scott Hahn brings salvation history to life for the lay Catholic. By focusing on our status as part of the family of God, he shows how the broken human family is made whole in Christ. This book helps readers understand the deep personal love God bears for his people and the plan that he has to bring them into an intimate family relationship .
