One important function it serves is to make the Book of Revelation relevant to Catholics. Both those who ignored the book due to its incomprehensibility, or those who tried to read it as some kind of coded future-predicting device will come away with a healthier understanding after reading Hahn's work.
The book's understanding of the Eucharist is solid and many will feel that their Eucharistic faith is more coherent for reading it. We have all heard the Mass is heaven on earth, but most of us have very little idea what such a phrase actually means. The Lamb's Supper is a good introduction to this eschatological reality of the Mass.

The book has, in my view, two minor weaknesses that keep it from getting a higher rating from me. The first is that is pretends that the eschatological aspect of the Eucharist has been virtually ignored since the patristic period. One gets the impression that Hahn himself has rediscovered it. This is simply untrue, as the author must know since he quotes both JP II and the catechism (both post-patristic sources) on this topic. It may be the case that Catholic piety has ignored this aspect, but Catholic theology has emphasized it very strongly, especially in the 20th century. Hahn does a good job of getting it from the academy to the laity, but one would never get the impression from reading the book that the academy is doing good work in the area.
The second weakness is similar. On top of discounting the work of contemporary Catholic theologians, Hahn spends a lot of energy in the book complaining about the quality of preaching, music and liturgy in general. While it may the case that many Catholics suffer from poor liturgy, I don't find it helpful to simply presume that the reader is in a parish with bad liturgy. I found the liturgical pessimism both distracting, unnecessary, and bordering on uncharitable.

Scott Hahn is a good writer who excels at bringing some of the more esoteric aspects of Catholic theology to the faithful. The book is a success on those counts and I am glad that it is widely read. I only caution that Hahn has not rediscovered anything. He blurs the line between a personal discovery and a theological breakthrough. This book is a great testimony of a personal discovery and will help many to appropriate the faith of the Church. If the reader would like to read a great (contemporary) theological account of the Eucharist in an eschatological key, F.X. Durrwell's Eucharist: Presence of Christ cannot be too highly recommended.(less)

Firstly, you have to understand that this book is not intended to be a scholarly work like many of Scott Hahn's other offerings. It is written for the layperson and it reads that way: very easy to understand, and pretty quick. That may be disappointing to some people who cringe at the "pop" tone of modern Christian "theology."

On the other hand, the information is quite comprehensive. If I had to give just one book to someone to help them understand what the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is about,...more

This is his most popular book so I decided to read it next.

This book has both a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, something that is always important to me when reading Catholic non-fiction. Going back to the early Christian's for inspiration Hahn shows us how they used the Book of Revelation to understand the Mass. The two are connected to such an amazing degree that Hahn's easy to read lay person voice makes everything he explains abundantly clear. Hahn uses a heavy foundation of Old Testament scripture and explains thoroughly the need for sacrifice in the OT Jewish religion. This increasingly sheds light on Jesus' role as "lamb" in the New Testament, in Revelation and in the Mass. Hahn shows how Revelation is divided into two parts at Chapter 11 equalling the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. When "we lift up our hearts" we literally are lifting them up to heaven and the Mass is the one place and time that we experience Heaven on earth.

I have my monthly missal on my bedside table and as I was reading this book, I found myself grabbing it and reading through the actual words of the Mass as Hahn explained meanings of certain parts. I know my responses and I take them seriously. I always get tears when I say "I am not worthy ..." but Hahn made me see them again in a new light, such as examining the "Holy, holy, holy". But more than this, Hahn had me reading the priest's lines and truly grasping what is happening at Mass with new eyes. Every Catholic knows that Jesus, the angels and saints are with us at Mass but by reading this book you'll fully understand when, where and why. This is certainly a book that bears repeated readings. It is a short book, but I took my time with it usually only reading a chapter a night to mull it over (ok sometimes two). Just writing this review makes me want to go to Mass! This is a book every Catholic should read especially if you have fallen into the rut of following the routine and not paying attention to what you are doing and saying. You are missing the most wonderful part of being Catholic, the Mass, Heaven on earth. Read, read, read this book! (less)

First: I warn again that I do my book votes subjectively and am not claiming an objective value for them. And, with that said, this one was a real disappointment for me. Mr. Hahn's previous vocation as an evangelical preacher is more on display here than any sustained argument that shows the parallels his thesis is claiming. Particularly, he is most interested in the "internal" Church structuring of fighting sin and is not at all speaking to a world that finds it's main worry to be an empty, sil...more

I picked it up as background for a couple of classes I was teaching. In preparation for the implementation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal I’m teaching A Biblical Walk Through the Mass (Book): Understanding What We Say and Do In The Liturgy and I wanted a fuller background on approaches to the Mass.

Hahn's work is based on the Mass as expression of Heavenly Liturgy as described in the Book of Revelation. He begins by giving a short history of the Mass followed by a brief synopsis. In Part 2, he gives four primary schema for interpreting the characters in the concluding book of Scripture: 1.) historicist; 2.) idealist 3.) preterist; and 4.) futurist which can be held/followed separately or taken together as ‘the earliest Christians taught that the sacred text operates on (at least) four levels, and all of those levels, all at once, teach God's one truth—like a symphony.’ p.73

However, having taught the class and read any number of works on the Mass, the Eucharist and worship, what stands out is this paragraph from Part III, Chapter 2, ‘Worship is Warfare’:

‘Yet the battle remains the battle... What is our particular combat during Mass? Maybe it’s warding off contempt for the worshiper whose perfume is too strong, or the man who sings the wrong lyrics off-key. Maybe it’s holding back our judgment against the parishioner who’s skipping out early. Maybe it’s turning the other way when we begin to wonder how low that neckline really goes. Maybe it’s fighting off smugness when we hear a homily riddled with grammatical errors. Maybe it’s smiling, in an understanding way, at the mom with the screaming baby. Those are tough battles. Maybe they’re not as romantic as sabers clashing in a faraway desert, or marching through tear gas to protest injustice. But because they’re so perfectly hidden, so interior, they require greater heroism. No one but God and His angels will notice that you didn’t mentally critique Father’s homily this week. No one but God and His angels will notice that you withheld judgment against the family that was underdressed. So you don’t get a medal; you win a battle instead.’

The opinions are my own.

Anyone who has been to church has been curious about the book of Revelation in the Bible. Growing up, I remember timelines across Sunday School classrooms that showed when the anti-Christ would make his appearance, when the Church would be raptured, and when Jesus would begin his 1,000 year reign on earth. I’ve heard sermons saying the Revelation of St. John was fulfilled in the first century. This apocalyptic book of the Bible has not only often remained an enigma, but is often requested to be taught on in Sunday School and Wednesday night Bible studies in Protestant churches. Many times doing so, materials are supplemented with recent newspaper articles.

But think about the what ifs. What if we have it wrong? This is an interesting book because author, Dr. Scott Hahn, grew up Protestant and then became Catholic. He studied the book of Revelation as a scholar in both Christian traditions. Within this book, he puts forth his conclusions. . . Revelation is simply a Biblical telling of Mass.

Not only does he give Scriptural support for this, he makes a strong argument. Will everyone agree with him? Absolutely not. Do I agree with him fully? No. Does that mean this book shouldn’t be read? By no means! Anyone with an interest in end times should read this book for another perspective.

Obviously written in the 1990s as it makes reference to the upcoming change of the millennium, this is one book that is still as relevant today as it was when it was published in 1999. This book will be relevant 30 years from now. How many books based out of Revelation can stand the test of time like this? Very few as most set a timetable for certain events to happen.

This is a relatively short book, 163 pages, but that doesn’t mean it’s short on information. It was a book I kept looking forward to picking up and reading the next chapter both to see his interpretation as well as the fact Dr. Hahn is an interesting author who held my attention. This is well referenced, and I believe should be an addition to Protestant’s library who studies end times because he does have a unique idea of how the final book in the Bible should be read. I believe it should be a part of every Catholic’s library because I believe it will enrich your experience in Mass every week.(less)

And strangely enough it is consoling. It's not really relevant to the situation that I'm currently bothered by, but when he explains the book of Revelation, you get the distinct feeling that God has a plan that can't fail.

While still a minister he was studying Revelation in the Bible and studying what the Church Fathers wrote about it. Basically they said it was a liturgical manual.

Absolutely fantastic! Having been raised to believe in end times eschatology, I found Hahn's take on Revelation as (at least a partial) view of Mass on Earth "as it is in Heaven" to be profound. It is so clear to me now that when one interprets the Bible with little context, especially Revelation, wild theories can abound. Hahn does not rule out that some of Revelation is clearly about future prophecy, but so much of it is about the desire to mimic right here on Earth the wedding feast of the La...more

In it Hahn talks about how his intense bible study and reading of the church fathers lead him to becoming a catholic. I got a little caught up in the whole idea of it, if Hahn studied his way to Catholicism then I figured he would the a great person to read more from. I quickly ordered 6 of his book assuming they would be great insights of the reason a fundamentalist protestant could convert to Catholicism. Sadly I realized that his books aren't at all written with the curious protestant in mind but with the devout unquestioning catholic.

From the introduction, I assumed this book was a book about how the mass is the book of revelation. I kept putting it off until I'd have time to read it along side a few other revelation commentaries, but that never happened so I finally read it alone. Sadly its pretty lacking as a description of revelation or any way that revelation pertains to the mass. Before reading other Hahn books this would have disappointed me but by now I sort of expect it, light on any type of theology and heavy on devotional aspects. To expect anything else would be to expect something Hahn doesn't actually do.

Hahn claims that when he first went to a mass he was experiencing revelation on earth, I don't really think he manages to back up that claim, at most what he experienced is that the liturgy has picked a few verses from revelation to use, no different than what they've done with the gospels as well. Hardly the book of revelation coming alive, sadly Hahn goes from his Hal Lindsey tribulation type of reading from the text into another type of reading more into the text than what is there. He also refers with glee that he didn't discover this but the ancient church does, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you what ancient writers he talked about, the only one I can recall is the didache.

Anyways this book is what it is, if you are already a catholic and want a great devotional which will try to help you stay awake and appreciate a bad homily then by all means get this book and you'll likely love it. If you want a book which discusses the mass as the book of revelation skip this one.

*Note: many of my problems with this book likely stem from not realizing what this book was about, I expected from the introduction something far different than what it is. This could be more of my own problem than anything wrong with Hahn. Although that might be due to this description: "The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist."(less)

His "The Lamb's Supper" however, is not boring at all, to think that most books about religions is quite boring (well, at least that's what I always thought of whenever I came up to books like that). This book reveals everything about the mass and why we Catholics are having that kind of mass, that kind of communion, which other denominations don't practice.

If you are familiar with Scott Hahn you can guess the book is pretty good.Scott studied for many years as a Protestant minister the Book of Revelation and tried to make sense of it. It was only when he attended a Catholic Mass that he began to understand the meaning of the Book of Revelation. This book is his uniting of the Catholic Mass and what was revealed in the Book of Revelation. So if the Book of Revelation seems too much to understand you might try this book.

Excellent study of how the Catholic Mass is seeped in the Book of Revelation. There were two ways he could have approached this topic: either from the framework of the Book of Revelation or that of the Mass itself. Hahn chose the latter, and I feel like I understand the Mass better as a result (which was his goal). Now I'd like to go back and look at Revelation with the Mass as the framework.

Earthly liturgy and Heavenly liturgy are one during every Mass. These are the thin spots where time and eternity come together for the Eternal Sacrifice offered up by the Son/Priest/Lamb through the Holy Ghost to God the Father.

Scott Hahn reminds us of this stark truth through the lens of the Book of Revelation, ancient Jewish and Christian liturgical rites, and patristic writers.

They impose suffering that is remedial, restorative, and redemptive. God's wrath is an expression of His love for His wayward children.” — 2 people liked it
