The Lamb's Supper:

The Mass as Heaven on Earth

Dr. Scott Hahn's fascinating book, The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth reawakens a surprisingly ancient view of the Eucharist as the harbinger of the supernatural drama described by the New Testament book of Revelation.  Dr. Scott Hahn, a former Protestant Pastor turned Catholic theologian, thinks that many worshippers receive the sacrament of the eucharist without ever considering its links to the end of the world, the Apocalypse, and the Second Coming. 

Dr. Hahn wants us to see that "The Mass--and I mean every single Mass--is heaven on earth."  Literally.

So, Scott declares, "Now heaven has been unveiled for us with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ ... Jesus Christ Himself says to you: 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me' (Rv. 3:20)." Hahn's enthusiasm, as evident even from these short quotes, is considerable--and infectious. Furthermore, he delivers his arguments with great levity (demonstrated in chapter titles such as "Oath Meal"), which makes The Lamb's Supper quite a tasty read. --Michael Joseph Gross

The Lamb's Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: the early Christian's key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament's Book of Revelation! With its bizarre imagery, mystic visions of Heaven, and end-of-time prophecies, says Scott Hahn, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist.

Beautifully written in clear, direct language, this book by bestselling Catholic author Dr. Scott Hahn will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.

"An extremely fascinating development of the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Scott Hahn handles a very complex subject in a very clear, logical manner ... and above all it is highly readable and very much in tune with modern-day jargon and understanding... I have learned much in the reading."
