THE FOURTH CUP: UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF THE LAST SUPPER & THE CROSS

Author: Scott Hahn. HB, 192 pages. Well-known Catholic theologian Dr. Scott Hahn explains Christ's Paschal sacrifice on the cross as the fulfillment of the traditional fourth cup used in the celebration of Passover, drawing symbolic parallels to the Last Supper and Christ's death on Calvary. Through his scholarly insights and important biblical connections, Mass will come alive for you as never before! Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with lively history, [this work] delivers a view of the bridges that span old and new covenants, and celebrates the importance of the Jewish faith in understanding more fully Christ's life, death, and resurrection. "The Paschal Mystery is at the heart of our faith and how we share in Jesus' death, resurrection, and entrance into glory. In The Fourth Cup, Dr. Scott Hahn shows the reader how our redemption follows a plan and pattern established from the very beginning of time. With his exceptional skill as both a scholar and a master teacher, he guides us on a pilgrimage along the path of the gradual accomplishment of God's saving action in history. As always, Dr. Hahn not only enlightens the reader's mind, but also touches the heart. A book made for personal spiritual renewal!" --CARDINAL DONALD WUERL, Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and author of The Mass: The Glory, the Mystery, the Tradition
