"This remarkable book brings together several powerful spiritual realities - all of them important to the believing Christian, and all of them apparently so diverse as to superficially appear unrelated: the end of the world and the daily Mass; the Apocalypse and the Lord's Supper; the humdrum of daily life and the Parousia, the coming of the Lord." (from the forward by Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel C.F.R.). In The Lamb's Supper, Scott Hahn explores an amazing interpretation of The Book of Revelation that has been almost forgotten over time. He reaches back to the second through sixth centuries to the teachings of the early Eastern Fathers of the church. In his study of their writings, Hahn shows us the link between the celebration of the Eucharist and the end of the world. He illustrates how the heavenly worship found in the Book of Revelation is really an account of the Marriage Feast of the Lamb - a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Beautifully written in clear, direct language, this book by bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before. "An extremely fascinating development of the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Scott Hahn handles a very complex subject in a very clear, logical manner ... and above all it is highly readable and very much in tune with modern-day jargon and understanding... I have learned much in the reading." -- Father Dominic Scotto, T.O.R. (See CONTENTS below) If you enjoy the book, check out the EWTN 13-part television series hosted by Dr. Scott Hahn. Fellow author Mike Aquilina joins Scott in exploring the Biblical relationship between the Holy Mass and the Book of Revelation, whose Apocalyptic theme has both fascinated and perplexed Christians for centuries. In these superbly crafted teachings, we catch Scott and Mike�s enthusiasm for the Mass as source of the Christian inheritance Christ has prepared for us.

We will watch this program for our bible study group. After previewing it I am really excited for our group. When you read the bible there are new things you pick up each time. This DVD tells of one more part of the passion story that I hadn't seen before.

All Catholics who go to mass but don't feel like they get much out of it, need to read this book. I found this book gave me a whole new appreciation for the Mass and its biblical anchor points.
