I just finished reading this book and I'm going to have to read it again because it is too deep to absorb in one sitting, especially as a product of 70's evangelization and Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth. (Do any of you remember being terrified and rushing to the altar after watching "A Thief in the Night?") The Lamb's Supper makes more sense out of the images and prophecies of Relevation than any book I've read before. Hahn substantiates prayers to saints, the noble position of our Blessed Mother in Heaven, and how walking into a Catholic Mass is indeed being in Heaven while still on earth. As we Catholics or Catholics-in-training can testify, there is a reverence and holiness at Mass that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Have any of you read The Lamb's Supper? What are your thoughts?

Oh, Susiedear:
I love "The Lamb's Supper" One of my all time favorite's. I've read it 3 times and will read it again.
I enjoy Dr. Hahn's books very much, His writing style is very easy to understand, I think that it must be due to his teaching all the time that makes his writing style so great to read. I've read most of his books and have a brand new one to start as soon as I get done with the one I'm reading now.
Everyone I've loaned the book to has really enjoyed it too. They have it on CD & audio tapes too, I'm thinking of buying that set too, For my friends and family that have a hard time reading.
Dr Hahn bring's a new prospective (or atleast one I was not aware of) to the book of Revalation. And also a much better understanding of the Mass.
My very first interest in the RC church came when I attended a funeral there. I was over come by an interior knowing that the lord was present in this very different way than I had ever felt in any other church. For weeks afterward I could not get it out of my mind. I found out that the church was open all day every day and I went in as an investigation. I wanted to see if he was still in there. Or if it was because of the folks gathered in his name. To my surprise he was still there even when I was all by myself.
The lambs supper is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. I've often wondered what other theologians would say about it though? Maybe someone here knows?
God Bless
Betty

If you will turn to page 10 in the book, Dr. Hahn begins to answer your question here: the theology was there from the beginning. He mentions the Fathers of the Church and the Second Vatican Council. What follows is the scriptural background for the understanding of the Mass as heaven on earth. Later, beginning on page 33, he discusses the contributions made by some of the earliest Fathers, St. Ignatius of Antioch and St. Justin Martyr, in the second century. A couple of pages later he cites St. Hippolytus of Rome from the third century. And so on.
Hahn doesn’t hide the fact that his “discovery” was not original. He merely stumbled on something that has been traditionally taught in the Church, but which seems to have been ignored and forgotten over the past several centuries. So he is really just helping Catholics rediscover their heritage.
By the way, if you check out eastern Orthodox literature, you will find the same tradition. By nature more conservative in their faith than western Catholics, the Orthodox have not ceased to teach and hold these things.

David you amaze me.  I struggle with reading comprehension, partly due to medication and partly due to just lack of it. I alway's pray that the spirit will help me to retain and learn what ever the Lord thinks I'm ready for. Because I already am aware of my comprehension problem, That's why I've decided that I needed to read most of my books more than once. The Lord has blessed you with such a wonderful and helpful mind. Thank You so much for being here to answer so many questions and be so helpful.

We are so blessed to have all of the wonderful converts helping us to rediscover the Catholic Faith. I've been reading alot of Steve Ray's writings too and he's helped me understand some of the incorrect belief's I've had and where they came from.
By the way, if you check out eastern Orthodox literature, you will find the same tradition. By nature more conservative in their faith than western Catholics, the Orthodox have not ceased to teach and hold these things.
I've never read any eastern Orthodox material yet. I guess I've always thought I better learn exactly what we believe as Catholic's before I started learning what other's believe. Someday I'll check into reading some of their material.

Thank you Again
Betty

David you amaze me.
You praise others, yet your own unpretentious example is powerfully instructive. Holiness starts with humility, and you have been blessed with this virtue in abundance.
You are the amazing one, Betty. Fighting through pain and pain killers, you still manage to shine like the sun. The interior clarity our Lord has given you is much more important than natural abilities like reading comprehension.
David

Blessings to you. 
Dr. Hahn's books and tapes are all full of good information. Seeing him on Lord Have Mercy and his other resources helped me learn things that I can use to explain things in a bold and clear way to my non-Catholic family.
He includes doctrines that historical figures used to protest The Church, even though now, there are many different varieties of non-Catholic churches. One of the most important errors he pointed out in his early works is that the word "alone" is not in the Greek text of The Bible where it discusses being saved by faith.
Like him, I also enjoy pointing out biblical traditions in The Mass, and was glad to know that I am not the only one noticing them.
Hi Betty, you do a great job of reading and writing on this site, and that counts!

I love it. I' m a Scott Hahn fan.
Letter and Spirit is one of my favorites. It really opened my eyes as to the relationship of the Mass and the Scriptures.
