The Road to Emmaus with Scott Hahn

The Transforming Power of God’s Holiness in Scripture

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.

Typology+Sacraments=Mystagogy

As Catholics, we must be trained to evangelize and catechize, and we must be 'sacramentalized', which means to partake in the sacraments. Mystagogy, a Greek term meaning “to be guided into the mysteries,” leads believers to a deeper understanding of the Liturgy of the Mass and its Scriptural and historical roots. In recent years Catholic theologians have recovered its value and have applied it to the new evangelization. Join Scott Hahn in this episode as he goes deeper into Mystagogy.

The Brotherhood of Sts. Peter and Paul

Dr. Scott Hahn discusses the connection, respect, and brotherhood of these two powerhouse saints of the first century. Many picture them in disagreement and look to their opposition as a cause of the Protestant break-away, but as Dr. Hahn points out, this is the farthest thing from the truth! Otherwise, why would they SHARE a feast day?? Check out a Paul and Peter reflection by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI here
