What did you like best about this story?

This book has helped me make sense of the Mass. I was raised Catholic and being able to make sense of the "Lamb's Supper," our Mass, in the Bible has given me so much insight into the book of Revelation and into my amazing Christ-given faith! I have enjoyed it so much and I suggest it to anyone who is interested in deepening their understanding of the Mass, the book of Revelation and Catholicism. Ultimately, whoever wants to deepen their relationship with the Blessed Trinity, our God...read this book and pray about it! Be amazed!

This is the best book I've read on Catholic Mass

If you could sum up The Lamb's Supper in three words, what would they be?

Intelligent, Faith, Revealing

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is kind of a silly question since this is a non-fiction, religious book. But my answer would be God. Why? God became man and sacraficed himself for m sake, and not matter what I do, he loves me as his child. Who do you think my favorite character is?

Which character – as performed by Scott Hahn – was your favorite?

himself...

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book moved me. In the end, Scott is a very educated and studied Christian. When he explains the Mass as heaven on earth, they open things inside myself, allowing me to more fully participate (and understand) the mass on each and every Sunday. If growing your understanding of God (and by doing such groing your faith) doesn't move you, I'm not sure what will.

Any additional comments?

Scott Hahn is an intellectual writer. Still, he has a knack for connecting with us "ordinary folk". Scott puts his years of study together into a solid explanaiton of wha the mass is, how the early Christians initially organized it, and what it means. The last place you might look would be the book of Revelations, but Scott goes into great detail into his journey of trying to decipher that most cryptic of books. He has spent a large portion of his life researching that book and what it may or may not mean. He explains how little satisfaction he gained from the simple explanations repeated over and over in his calvanist origins. By joining the Catholic Church, more things opened up to Scott in his studies. Coming to understand the mass and map it to the book of revelations helped him to understand John's writings. He then came to explain the mass through the book of Revelations (or vice versa, however you want to view it). The academic process and pure logic utilized here is astounding.

The book goes much deeper into the Mass than just hte book of revelations, but by the time you finish listening/reading you will have a much better understanding of what it means to participate in our Mass.

In depth look at the mass.

I can now read Revelation with a little more understanding. Dr. Hahn is brilliant Catholic theologian with impeccable Protestant education. I love the mass more, because I am beginning to see it's importance.

A Must Read!

Would you listen to The Lamb's Supper again? Why?

Let me first say, I am a former student of Scott's, having taken 18 credits from him. That being disclosed, I think that this book and A Father Who Keeps His Promises are the two books that lay a large focus of Scott's teaching. This book will open the Mass to you in a whole new way. I wish that every Catholic would read this.

I also prefer that Scott Hahn read his own books, as he did with this one. Scott is an infectious teacher, and you need to hear him doing the reading for the best experience.

Very insightful and great reading

Having Dr Hahn read this was great. No one else could have delivered the material with such authenticity and clarity. The book was very illuminating and provided some entirely new (to me- and maybe this era) perspectives on the Mass and on Revelations. A great choice for any Bible scholar and all Catholics.

Helped Me Understand the Mass

Excellent study of how the Catholic Mass is seeped in the Book of Revelation. There were two ways he could have approached this topic: either from the framework of the Book of Revelation or that of the Mass itself. Hahn chose the latter, and I feel like I understand the Mass better as a result (which was his goal).

It is finished - What is 'It'?"

Where does The Lamb's Supper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As a book on religion, this is one of the best books that I have listened to. Many Catholics are unaware of the scriptural foundation of the Mass. This book highlights this direct connection and helps to understand why we do what we do. As a former Protestant Scott Hahn gives a much needed perspective - that of a sceptical opponent. This should inspire all Catholics to know more about their faith and appreciate the rich scriptural traditions of our Christian faith.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lamb's Supper?

A simple statement turned question. When on the cross Jesus says,

Have you listened to any of Scott Hahn’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have also listened to a short excerpt from this book called the Fourth Cup. It's only about an hour long and gets right to the point.

Any additional comments?

I encourage not only Catholics but Protestants also to listen. This deals with the major difference between our Christian beliefs - The Eucharist (Holy Communion). It's a shame that we share so many common beliefs and yet we feel so far apart. Perhaps more understanding on all of our part will help us come together. We all love Christ :)

The Key to Book of Revelation

Where does The Lamb's Supper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right at the top!

What did you like best about this story?

Dr. Scott Hahn shows how the Book of Revelation can help a person understand the Mass and how the Mass can provide the key to Revelation.

Have you listened to any of Scott Hahn’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first audiobook by Scott Hahn that I have listened to. I have, however, listened to many of his CD's. It was interesting to hear him narrate a book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

I had read The Lamb's Supper a few years ago, but got a lot more out of it by listening to the audiobook.

Simply Brilliant!

This remains my favorite Scott Hahn book, even after many other great reads. It set me on a new spiritual journey into the historic, life-giving purpose of Jesus’ sacrifice and Eucharistic liturgical worship. What a surprising treat for an evangelical Christian raised in a long Protestant line!

‘The Lamb’s Supper’ is for people of all religious backgrounds, and none. As Hahn recounted his experience of astonishment and childlike delight as the Catholic mass came alive in a most unexpected way, it touched me deeply as a previous student of an evangelical Protestant seminary. Hahn combined the perfect mix of personal spiritual transformation, fresh explanation of biblical teaching and sound theology contained within the Catholic liturgy, a pastoral heart, engaging writing style, and a perfect voice for narration. If you’ve never read Hahn, this book is a great place to begin, or continue the spiritual journey.
