The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth

Even fallen away Catholics (like me) will benefit from this book. I can identify with Hahn's experience of realizing for the first time that what he was entering in to (the Mass) was infact the unfolding of time and space - of heaven and earth. The Book of Revelation now makes more sense to me.

For cradle Catholics, it is the perfect book; for protestants who think Catholicism is wrong, it is the perfect book; for folks who want to understand the Catholic Mass, it is the perfect book.

In this book Scott Hahn takes the Mass and draws out the parallels in the book of Revelation. He explores how parts of the Mass draw from and perfect Jewish tradition, and to my pleasure he makes abundant references to early Christian writers. His basic purpose is to show the depth and majesty of the Mass and how even the most mediocre Mass is an experience of Heaven. This book is great in terms of apologetics, explaining the rootedness of the Mass in scripture as well as for Catechesis, explaining the riches contained in the Mass.

Excellent easily read book explaining important reasons for various prayers and rituals involved in the Catholic Mass. Will definately improve your appreciation, respect, and love for the Mass. Even non-catholics would be more knowledgeable and realize why Catholics find the Mass so important!

This book is great and everyone should read it. If your Catholic it will open your eyes to the Mass and you will LOVE going to church. If your not Catholic you just might want to be after you read this book!
