Wonderful May 19, 2000

Scott Hahn gives a wonderful view of how the Book of Revelations relates to the Mass. In fact, it become quite apparent that you miss the entire point of book of Revelations if you don't know how the early Christians celebrated the Mass.
Finally -- clarity to the Book of Revelations May 16, 2000

Being raised an Evangelical/Charismatic, of course I was taught that Revelations only related to the end of the world. This book clearly presents the historical, Christian understanding of Revelations that was understood from the earliest days of the Church. Our modern society has forgotten the knowledge of the past. Dr. Hahn uses his distinct style to help us read Revelation as a first century Jewish-Christian. A fantastic book for anyone who has ever been puzzled by this most puzzling Book of the Bible.

An absolute Christian Classic. A great book for Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants alike. Hopefully this book will at last put to rest some of the contrived twentieth century interpretations of the book of Revelation. Since reading it, the Mass has become ever more powerful to me. I--unlike many Catholics--knew some of what Hahn presents concerning the Mass. However, the book was an enriching experience that really hit home the power of the Lord's presence (parousia) in the Blessed Sacrament.
 A great book could have been so much more! May 12, 2000

Loved this book. It definitely was helpful in my continuing struggle to fully appreciate Mass. My four star rating is analogous to the teacher who criticizes a top student for a ninety percent because he or she knows they could have gotten a hundred. I feel a great book could have been so much more had it continued parallel the Mass and Revelations throughoutStill, this work along with Romano Guardini's "Preparing Yourself for Mass" are great antidotes for those who have become lackadaisical to the power of the Mass.
Hahn at his absolute best May 9, 2000

By connecting Scripture and the Mass, this book makes both more understandable and exciting than ever. I want to recommend Scott Hahn's other books too, especially "A Father Who Keeps His Promises (particularly chapter 12, "The Fourth Cup"), where he carefully lays the foundation for everything that he does in "The Lamb's Supper".
