Scott Hahn's collection of short essays on the priesthood is a thoughtful and useful introduction to the theology of the ministerial priesthood. It is nothing special, and other books and papal documents are more profound and information-packed, but it is down-to-earth and non-intimidating, making for light, enjoyable reading on the subject. The proof-reading and editing could use a second-combing, though.

Dr. Hahn lays out a brief--albeit thorough--description of the Priesthood of the Catholic Church with elegance and thought-provoking respect. There are certainly better books if one wants to study the theology of the Priesthood or understand the practical applications of Priesthood, but Dr. Hahn's book--I found--is more of a spiritual reflection on the tremendous honor and servanthood in the office of Priest. The Priest is called first and foremost to bring others to salvation in Jesus Christ th...more
A short but a very to the point book concerning the Priesthood and even [in an on and off manner] the Sacraments. The fact that this book is written by a former Protestant serves the purposes of legitimizing the Priesthood in the eyes of both Protestants as well as other individualists who do not want to rely on anyone else but themselves to get to God. This book is good for any layman who wants to understand Fatherhood both in marital terms as well as in clerical terms, the book seeks to show w...more
Read for my church book club. Enjoy Scott Hahn's writing style- each chapter being a different aspect of a priests role. Also found it interesting written from the point of view of a former protestant minister converted to catholocism.
I enjoyed it, with several friends who are priests, it gave me a deeper understanding of their call. Written by a lay Catholic, who was once an Anglican Minister, I think this easy to read book is written with a theological understanding and sympathy. Worth the read for sure....
Hahn stuffed as much information into this little book as possible. It is actually exhilarating to read because of it. Defiantly a book you would want to stick notes in to keep certain bits on information in mind.
