Summary: Much Valuable Insight
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely. I recommend it to all my friends. However, Hahn's efforts to make the book enjoyable and readabble have come at a price, albeit a small price. Some of the ideas and concepts in this book are speculative and appear presented as fact. It is hard to discern where the Fathers stop and Hahn begins in some of the commentary. This is not to say that you should not get this book. On the contrary, I recommend this book. The weight of the content far outweights the occasional speculative wanderings. With this in mind, the reader will not get swept away into the speculations presented, and will truly gain some very valuable insight into the Mass. It has given me new insight into the Mass, and has made the Mass a much more fluid thing, more a logical procession from one step to the next, rather than a grocery list of things to do. I can say that this book gave me a dynamic "feel" for the Mass.

Summary: A New/Old Look at Eucharist
Review: Any Christian can get value from this book, not just Catholics. Hahn, a former Presbyterian minister now teaching at Catholic Stubbenville University, looks on Revelations as a key to understanding the Mass. He also takes the opposite view, that any exegesis of Revelations without an understanding of the first-century Mass is inadequate, even misleading. Hahn's writing style is not well adapted to longer forms such as this; he writes in thirty to sixty minute lessons, like his famous teachings and lectures. Still, his insights are valuable and bring an important viewpoint from the Fathers of the Church. Hahn's method of treatment is new, but his insights are as old as the Church herself.

Summary: Great book, bad puns
Review: As always, Hahn is thought-provoking and instructive. There is so much rubbish out there by way of pop eschatology; Scott Hahn gives an interpretation of the book of Revelation that is consistent and loyal to the Magisterium of the Church, showing the deep liturgical meaning that is inherent in the symbolism of this much-misunderstood book of the Bible. Hahn's style is colorful and breezy, making this a very readable book. Its one flaw, and it is a glaring one, is the pointless and distracting bad puns. Fortunately, they are largely confined to the titles of the various subsections of the book, and so are not in the text itself. Hahn's purpose is no doubt to make very serious theology readable and non-threatening to the average reader, but really, Dr. Hahn: your point would be made more clearly if you would skip the puns!

Summary: I look forward to mass now!
Review: A wonderful little book that made mass come alive for me. Mr. Hahn writing is clear and concise and his sense of humor shines through.

Summary: Revelation is not what you may think - this book explains!
Review: I've always felt that the book of Revelation was not a story of things to come, but of a history of things that had already occurred. This incredible book affirms my gut instincts, but it also explains in detail some of the most wonderful mysteries of the Eucharist. Did you know that "apololypse" translated from Greek means "unveiling"? That simple fact is crucial in understanding this enigmatic letter to the churches. A MUST read for all who are interested in the Truth!

Summary: Didn't expect it.
Review: Like one of those things one knows (probably for ages), but can't seem to realize fully, Scott Hahn brought out of the darkest corners of my closet the truth about Mass and what is really going on at the Altar. Needless to say, I not only was not able to put down the book, but I have started to attend Mass frequently, more devoutly, and with clearer intentions and understanding. I am a cradle Catholic, raised in a very Catholic family, studied in Catholic School, and devoted to Our Blessed Mother. But, I had been missing the "epiphany" of "My God and My Lord" in the consecration. It took Scott Hahn to help me see, which he did from the first two paragraphs.

Summary: What a Revelation!
Review: This is a fantastic book for anyone wanting to know more about the liturgy - something that is easily overlooked by most Catholics. Indeed I hadn't heard of a priest mention the link before reading this book. A must-buy!

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This was a great book, and an easy read, even for a Teen trying to understand the faith better, I recommened this book to everyone. Also, to RandyK, you maybe should read the book over, and with open eyes. Ever looked at the Church Fathers writings? Great book, Scott Hahn, a Fransican Univeristy Professor is a great Author, and speaker.

Summary: Mass will never be the same again
Review: The Lamb's Supper showed me how the book of Revelation and the Mass were meant for each other. It feels so different when I go to Mass now, because this book has given me a greater sense of joy and reverence. We really enter heaven and worship with the saints and the angels. Now I see how I took the Scriptures and the Mass so much for granted before. I really hope a lot of catholics read this and non-catholics too.

Summary: The Mass: an ongoing funeral
Review: "The Lamb's Supper" is nothing more than a contemporary attempt to fabricate a defense for an unbiblical and blasphemous practice. Revelation is undisputedly the most allegorical (symbolic) book in the entire Bible. The orthodox and traditional interpretations of verses found in the Book of Revelation can be found by simply reading a good Bible Commentary written by any orthodox theologian. Many sites feature up to 10 online Bible Commentaries written by different theologians living in several different centuries. I have indeed read dozens of them and none share any of the interpretations that Scott Hahn or the religion of Rome does. Unfortunately Hahn's and Rome's reasoning are awash with dangerous and diabolical confusion. To liken the scene around the "golden altar" in Heaven (Revelation chapters 6,8,9) to the Roman Mass is to totally misrepresent the truth of God's Word. The scene in Heaven is a picture of "life" and "praise". The Catholic Mass is a place of "death" and "propitiation". Paul tells us that "Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him" (Romans 6:9) and Christ Himself spoke to John "I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore" (Revelation 1:18) The Mass it is claimed, is a sacrifice TO OBTAIN REDEMPTION "in the divine sacrifice of the eucharist the work of our redemption IS accomplished" ( Vat.II: vol 1: page 1) Contrast that with the praise for Christ and Calvary "Worthy is the Lamb that WAS slain, for thou WAS slain and HAS REDEEMED us to God by thy blood" (Revelation 5:12&9). In Heaven Christ is the focus of attention whereas at the Mass the robed priests are the focus as the '94 Catechism describes in paragraph 1566: "acting in the place of Christ in the sacrifice of the Mass THEY make present again and apply...the unique sacrifice of the New Testament." Christ's sacrifice all through the NT is viewed as a one time offering (esp. Hebrews chps. 7, 9, 10), that accomplishes that in which it was intended to accomplish. It is a finished work, and Jesus Christ after He offered Himself in the sacrifice sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. There He remains until the end of time. He is not brought down thousands of times upon an altar for His work to be continued. The intercessory work of Jesus Christ refutes the concept of the Mass. Christ intercedes on the basis of His completed work, not on the basis of work that is applied little by little.
