Product Description
A fresh and enlightening new perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith, from the author of the highly successful The Lamb's Supper.
In The Lamb's Supper, Catholic scholar and apologist Scott Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message.
Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king.
Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

Great book!,

This review is from: Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God (Paperback)
For those who enjoy insightful and light reading, Scott Hahn is one of the best Catholic theologians out there in this category. This work was based largely on Scripture and therefore, will be able to answer a lot of the questions that Protestants will ask regarding Mary.

The Importance of Mary to Christianity,
By
This review is from: Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: Personal edification.When I started my conversion process to Catholicism, I immediately felt the welcoming, warmth and peace of our Mother, the Blessed Virgin. Marian theology is something I really wanted to fully understand and this book is truly wonderful in describing Mary's place in the Bible, in the Church and in every Christian's life. Hahn explains biblically why Mary is honoured by Catholics, and her central importance in the Christian Life (not just Catholic). First he goes through who Mary really *is*, then shows the parallels between the Old Testament and the New where references to and promises of Mary are made, he also explains Mary's role in Revelations. Using passages from the bible and quotes from early church writers we see how Mary was essential to Jesus' message. Scott Hahn calls Mary "the test" of Christianity. Jesus gave us his Mother!! What more proof do we need that He loves us? And how could we *not* honour her if we love Him. Hahn has a wonderful narrative voice. He can speak clearly in layman's terms and often adds humour to make his book not only informative and inspirational but fun to read. The book does go pretty deep theologically and I did find myself reading passages twice or thrice to comprehend, but I am still new to studying theology. I had a lovely chat with our church Deacon about what I had learnt and had a few questions for him but it was wonderful to share the big lightbulb moments that went off in my head with him as I came to some realizations of Truth while reading the book. When reading this book (and possibly any book on Mary) one of the most powerful forces one realizes is just how much the Church respects women as a whole. One can see this every time one attends a Mass but when reading about the role of Mary, Mother, Bride and Queen in any Church teaching it is simply beautiful to find a place in today's world that still respects and honours women as women. An extremely enlightening book. No Catholic should go without reading it and Protestants with an inquiring mind will find it interesting to learn what Catholic beliefs really are from this ex-Presbyterian minister author.

This review is from: Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God (Paperback)
Scott Hahn is a man who is sincerely and totally committed to the service of Christ through his studies in Sacred Scripture. He reveals to many Catholics, other Christians and indeed - people of other faiths: not only what we believe - but equally important - WHY we believe certain truths concerning our faith.Well - I've heard many of his talks on tape and this book is a brilliant explanation on what we believe about Mary and how entirely scriptural our beliefs run. I know Mr. Hahn is not a Catholic Christian because he hates Fundamentalists. No - by no means! He has this genuine love of Jesus which reflects in the way he shares his deep faith about scripture. What can I say about Mary? This lady has changed my life and I figure if she's good enough for Jesus - then she's good enough for me. But it's not good enough to just know that. You've got to get the textbook - which again tells us the origins of such a beautiful devotion: so you can share it with your friends. Actually most people who dislike the Blessed Virgin are usually that way because of superficial biases that they have against the Catholic Church. But hey - I really believe that Jesus is God and that he chose her. Like Mary - I too want to magnify the Lord in my own life! I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in having a more solid perspective on why we are devoted to her and why she is so wonderfully special to so many people who cherish her Immaculate Heart. It worthwhile mentioning that Marian devotion is not a Christian phenomenon - but many of our Jewish and Muslim friends sincerely love our little mother too. Over and out
