The Fourth Cup

Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross

By: Scott Hahn

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

From the best-selling author of The Lamb's Supper and Signs of Life comes an illuminating work on the Catholic Eucharist and its link to the Jewish Passover meal.

“Read this book. And don’t just read it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. And share it with others.” (Brant Pitre, author of The Case for Jesus)

In this brilliant audiobook - part memoir, part detective story, and part biblical study - Scott Hahn opens up new vistas on ancient landscapes while shedding light on his own enduring faith journey. The Fourth Cup not only tracks the author’s gradual conversion along the path of Evangelicalism to the doorsteps of the Catholic faith, but also explores the often obscure and misunderstood rituals of Passover and their importance in foreshadowing salvation in Jesus Christ.

Revealing the story of his formative years as an often hotheaded student and earnest seeker in search of answers to great biblical mysteries, Hahn shows how his ardent exploration of the Bible’s Old Testament turned up intriguing clues connecting the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. As Hahn tells the story of his discovery of the supreme importance of the Passover in God’s plan of salvation, we, too, experience often-overlooked relationships between Abel, Abraham, and the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. Along the way, Hahn reveals how the traditional fourth cup of wine used in the concluding celebration of Passover explains in astonishing ways Christ’s paschal sacrifice.

Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with lively history, The Fourth Cup delivers a fascinating 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.

INCREDIBLE!

I am so grateful to have been able to listen to this book during this Lenten season. My understanding of and enthusiasm for the Catholic faith grows with each and every Scott Hahn book that I read. I look forward to reading this one, again, when I have the book in print!

Beautifully done!

Dr. Hahn draws us into the Passover as we've probably never considered, as Christ led his Apostles through that last Passover.

Scott Hahn Spiritual conversion through scripture

Till ,I listened to this I did not know what this fourth cup ,was about .Uantil a priest friend mention his books
title ,i did not know there was a 4th cup .let alone more
than 1. Because all i hear at Mass in the memorialaclimation
of one cup . Then ,in the Eucharistic prayer a chalice ,
This sheds a whole new light on the Last Supper/ first Mass.
and Calvary.

Powerful awakening if the Mass. A sharing of what

we participate in and commune in. The body and blood of the Lamb of God.

Excelente

Beautifully done well put together why we live our life with Jesus Christ for the love of humanity

A deep, beautiful and enlightening encounter.

I love everthing about this book and I encourage Catholic and non- Catholic alike to read the truth about Christ!!

Never doubt the quality of a Scott Hahn book!

As noted in the subject line, I made the mistake of putting off this book for a while. Doctor Hahn is always worth reading or listening to. He has a readable, moving, and extremely well informed manner of writing.

The writing is academically well informed but at the same time not overly bookish. He manages to be informative without being preachy.

She is never insulting to his roots or where he came from even after his conversion. This notes him as a solid evangelist and respectable man.

I cannot recommend this book enough.

Eye opening

I am not Catholic but have read most of Scott Hahn’s books and agree with him on most things. I go to an evangelical church and am very involved in teaching and other ministries there but also go to a nearby Catholic Church occasionally to really worship. As I told the priest there, our church does a good job with praise but not a good job worshiping. I do not like to here Catholic bashing from people in my church and feel his books have helped me explain to others the real doctrine of the Catholic Church and not what they assume as true. My hope is that we can celebrate our commonality and minimize our differences and feel Scott does that very well.

Engagingaaaa

Scott Hahn does it again! He brings Biblical and catechetical knowledge toget her to give ordinary Catholics an insight into the faith.

Excellent

Overall a excellent story of conversion but so much more. Arthur Morey is my favorite narrator and Scott Hahn is a first class educator and writer. Worth the purchase.
