Eucharist

For over 2,000 years the Catholic Church has been celebrating the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian Faith -- and it is still one of the most divisive doctrines separating Catholics and Protestants today.

Author, lawyer, and a leading defender of the Faith, John Salza, unpacks this pillar of the Catholic Faith in the same clear, engaging style that has drawn thousands of readers to his other works. Here Salza demonstrates how, without question, the Eucharist, as the body and blood of Jesus Christ, is deeply rooted in biblical history.

Whether you are defending, questioning, or exploring the role of the Eucharist in the Catholic Faith, you will come away from The Biblical Basis for the Eucharist with a crystal clear understanding of what the Church teaches and why.

As seen on EWTN, bestselling author Scott Hahn unveils the mysteries of the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals.

Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy."

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

Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book 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.
