Reviews

“Read this book. And don’t just read it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. And share it with others.” —BRANT PITRE, author of The Case for Jesus
 
“The Paschal Mystery is at the heart of our faith and how we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and entrance into glory. In The Fourth Cup, Dr. Scott Hahn shows the reader how our redemption follows a plan and pattern established from the very beginning of time. With his exceptional skill as both a scholar and a master teacher, he guides us on a pilgrimage along the path of the gradual accomplishment of God’s saving action in history. As always, Dr. Hahn not only enlightens the reader’s mind, but also touches the heart. A book made for personal spiritual renewal!” —CARDINAL DONALD WUERL, Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and author of The Mass: The Glory, the Mystery, the Tradition
 
“Some autobiography, a great deal of theology, the solution to an old Scriptural puzzle— and tons of puns besides. This book is a feast.” —ROBERT BARRON, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles and author of To Light a Fire on the Earth
 
“Scott Hahn has the rare gift of combining solid, precise, and extensive scholarship (laid out clearly even for the non-specialist) with fascinating storytelling. Here Hahn communicates a vivid sense of the presence of the fourth cup today. The completion of Jesus’ Passover is the heart of God’s covenantal gift, a gift that touches every human being in every age, including today. It is this sense of presence that makes the book a thrill to read.” —MICHAEL WALDSTEIN, Max Seckler Professor of Theology, Ave Maria University, Florida
 
“Scott Hahn revolutionizes our understanding of this sacrament by conveying profound concepts in simple prose. You’ll never see the Eucharist the same way again after you read The Fourth Cup.” —JENNIFER FULWILER, SiriusXM radio host and author of One Beautiful Dream
