Just as the Ark of the Covenant was the resting place for God''s Word, written in stone, the Blessed Virgin Mary carried God''s Word, Jesus Christ, within her womb.

A los católicos se les enseña a valorar la santidad, a admirarla en los demás y a luchar por ella en sus propias vidas. Pero apenas se habla de qué es la santidad. En este libro, Scott Hahn busca definir el término, para ayudarnos a comprender mejor nuestra relación con la santidad. Al rastrear su significado, primero en el Antiguo Testamento y luego en el Nuevo, el autor revela magistralmente cómo Dios transmite gradualmente su santidad a su pueblo (a través de la creación, la adoración, etc.) y finalmente los transforma, al compartir su vida divina.

Los católicos creen en la resurrección del cuerpo, y así lo profesan en el credo. Aprenden que enterrar a los muertos y rezar por ellos es una obra de misericordia. Los honran en su Liturgia mediante el Rito de la sepultura. Hacen todo esto, y más, porque cuando Jesucristo se encarnó, también otorgó una gran dignidad al cuerpo. La promesa de la resurrección corporal pone de relieve la necesidad de un cuidado digno de nuestros cuerpos en la hora de la muerte. Scott Hahn analiza tanto las Escrituras como la enseñanza católica y nos recuerda que nuestros cuerpos han sido hechos por un Dios que nos ama. Incluso en la muerte, esos cuerpos señalan el misterio de nuestra salvación.

Catholics are taught to prize holiness—to admire it in others and to strive for it in their own lives. But we’re never quite told what holiness is. In Holy Is His Name: The Transforming Power of God’s Holiness in Scripture, Scott Hahn seeks to define the term in order to help us better understand our relationship with holiness. Tracing the meaning of holiness first through the Old Testament and then the New, Hahn masterfully reveals how God gradually transmits his holiness to his people—through creation, right worship, and more—and ultimately transforms them through the sharing of his divine life.

Scott Hahn nos cuenta por qué ama y honra a la Virgen María, y por qué nosotros deberíamos amarla y honrarla también. Con un estilo diáfano, vigoroso y elegante, el autor explica en este libro el lugar que tiene la Virgen en la piedad cristiana. Expone y analiza los fundamentos bíblicos y teológicos de la devoción mariana, y da respuesta a las principales cuestiones en torno a esta devoción. Su mensaje, con plena fidelidad al Vaticano II, es claro como el cristal en el modo de concentrar nuestra atención en María, la Madre de Dios, en su relación con Cristo y Su Iglesia. Hahn escribe en un tono humilde y amoroso, movido por el deseo ferviente de que los católicos entendamos y agradezcamos el papel de María en los planes de Dios, y el lugar que ocupa en nuestras vidas. Este espléndido trabajo puede ayudar a muchas personas a conocer mejor y a amar más a la Virgen. Contiene además, como anexo, La Carta apostólica de Juan Pablo II sobre el Rosario.

Is religion a right given to us by the state? Is it an opium for the masses? Is it private opinion with no role in the public sphere? In It Is Right and Just, bestselling author Scott Hahn and Brandon McGinley challenge our idea of religion and its role in society. Hahn and McGinley argue that to answer questions over religious liberty, justice, and peace, we must first reject the insidious lie perpetuated by secular-liberal culture: that religion is a private matter. Contrary to what political commentators and activists say, religion is not only relevant to justice and law, but is necessary for civilization to thrive. Recover the public nature of true religion, It Is Right and Just argues, and watch as a revolution unfolds.

Se tiende a pensar que los ángeles y los santos son seres lejanos, de escayola o impresos en estampas, capaces de realizar milagros con la eficacia de un superhéroe. Quizá, en el caso de los ángeles, podemos suponer que tocan un arpa allí arriba, entre las nubes. Sin embargo, ellos están muy cerca de nosotros. Scott Hahn deshace leyendas urbanas y tópicos. Jesucristo une el cielo con la tierra: los ángeles rodean a la Iglesia en la tierra, como una gran nube de testigos. Los mártires claman desde el cielo, pidiendo justicia. Sus oraciones suben a Dios, como el incienso, pidiendo por los que aún caminan en la tierra. El autor nos presenta a sus personajes, desde el siglo I hasta ahora. Seguir su ejemplo supone iniciar en la tierra la vida del cielo.

What could be more familiar than the Christmas story--and yet what could be more extraordinary? The cast of characters is strange and exotic: shepherds and magicians, an emperor and a despot, angels, and a baby who is Almighty God. The strangeness calls for an explanation, and this book provides it by examining the characters and the story in light of the biblical and historical context. Bestselling author Scott Hahn who has written extensively on Scripture and the early Church, brings evidence to light, dispelling some of the mystery of the story. Yet Christmas is made familiar all over again by showing it to be a family story. Christmas, as it appears in the New Testament, is the story of a father, a mother, and a child--their relationships, their interactions, their principles, their individual lives, and their common life. To see the life of this "earthly trinity" is to gaze into heaven.

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They’re cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven. Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively book, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses." The martyrs cry out from heaven’s altar begging for justice on the earth. The prayers of the saints and angels rise to God, in the Book of Revelation, like the sweet aroma of incense. Dr. Hahn tells the stories of several saints (and several angels too) in a way that’s fresh and new. The saints are spiritual giants but with flesh-and-blood reality. They have strong, holy ambitions—and powerful temptations and opposition that must be overcome. Their stories are amazing and yet familiar enough to motivate us to live more beautiful lives. In this telling of their story, the saints are neither otherworldly nor this-worldly. They exemplify the integrated life that every Christian is called to live. Still, their lives are as different from one another as human lives can be. Dr. Hahn shows the heavenly Church in all its kaleidoscopic diversity—from Moses to Mary, Augustine to Therese, and the first century to the last century. Only saints will live in heaven. We need to be more like the saints if we want to live in heaven someday. Dr. Hahn shows us that our heavenly life can begin now. It must.

The book leads the reader on an overview of salvation history in order to give the "big picture," the single plot that runs through the books of the Bible. What is that overarching story? God''s plan to bring all humanity into his covenant family. This overview of key covenants from creation to the New Covenant established by Jesus not only helps the reader see how various biblical stories fit together in God''s plan, it also provides a foundation for ongoing Bible study. Genesis to Jesus is the first in a series of study guides produced by The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, based in Steubenville, Ohio. The Center, founded in 2000, develops materials to help Catholics deepen their faith through Scripture study.

In Many Are Called, Dr. Scott Hahn, one of the most celebrated scholars and influential Catholic writers living today, enthusiastically encourages Catholics around the world to renew their focus on the sacred role of the Catholic priest. Using his unique ability to present deep spiritual and theological ideas in the language of everyday life, Dr. Hahn examines the biblical and historical roots of the priesthood to explain the centrality of the priest in the life of the Church. He brings reinvigorated attention to the many roles of the priest—provider, mediator, protector, teacher, judge, and more—all of which are united in the priest''s place as spiritual father to God''s people, and ultimately he shows that it is through the priest, empowered by God, that the continuing presence of Jesus Christ makes itself known to our world. Lively, insightful, and engaging, Many Are Called will serve as an inspiration to students and seminarians considering a vocation, to clergy renewing their call, to Catholic readers looking to deepen their faith, and to seekers curious about one of Catholicism''s defining but least understood elements. With a foreword by the Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, this is a truly special book, one that speaks to the restless heart of humanity and reveals that our pleas for a spiritual father have already been answered.
