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.

The Lamb's Supper

It is truly a mind-opening about the book of Revelation,an indepth study of the Mass in the Catholic Church.

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).

Great insight.

Incredible teachings. Scott revisist a lot of traditional concepts most likely unknown or forgotten to the cradle Catholics, with that said this book would probably be best utilized through reading of actual text. I feel like audio version doesn't give the substance justice. When listening bring your Bible! Enjoy.

Best study of the Book of Revelation I’ve encountered!

I grew up in a Church that loved to mine the Apocalyptic literature of the Bible for what the future held. I loved the “Chart Evangelists” that would trot in with 24 foot by 8 foot full color versions of Clarence Larkin’s maps of the future per the book of Daniel, Revelations and so on. It was way cool.

After about 10 years of attending mass (sometimes daily) I have come to realize what Scott Hahn realized: The Apocalypse saturates the mass! Dr. Hahn’s careful and thorough exploration of this reality has been so illuminating and enriching for me! Thanks Dr. Hahn!!

Highly recommended to Catholics and anyone who wants to understand the mass better! The keys that unlock that understanding reside in this book!

Best thing I've ever read, second to Sacred Script

I love this book. Maybe even more the second time through. I've always loved being Catholic &going to Mass, but I Love being Catholic even more now&I Love going to Mass even more...because I UNDERSTAND it so much more. I am so much more connected&can enter into the Sacrifice more fully.
