The Spirit of Scripture - CD
Dr. Scott Hahn

Since the elevation of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger to the Throne of Peter, theologians, journalists and rank-and-file Catholics have been wondering, “What makes the new Pope tick?” “Is he really the ‘Grand Inquisitor’ or ‘Panzer-Kardinal’ that the press painted him as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith?” Or is there more to Benedict XVI than meets the eye?
Now in this remarkable new three CD series Scott Hahn shares deep reflections on the man and the ministry of Pope Benedict XVI, whom he whimsically refers to as “my theological twin—separated at birth!” Hahn’s favorite theologian for twenty years, you’ll discover how the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger eloquently endorses an understanding of Scripture that emphasizes Divine Fatherhood and Sonship, the theological importance of family, Covenant and Salvation History.
Following Pope Benedict’s teaching that “The spirit of liturgy is Scriptural and the spirit of Scripture is liturgical”, Hahn’s talks Do This in Memory of Me and reveal the Holy Father’s teaching that liturgy and Scripture are truly inseparable. And how it was through assiduous reading of the Bible, accompanied by prayer, that then Cardinal Ratzinger built a bridge between exegesis and dogma that was the initial catalyst that began propelling Dr. Hahn toward Rome.
The series also includes an inspiring and enlightening talk from Kimberly Hahn on how to bring these insights home to enrich your family Bible study in her presentation “At Home with the Word.”
Recorded live at the recent Catholic Biblical Study Conference these talks reveal Pope Benedict XVI to be a gentle man who is gentle, deep, brilliant, moderate, and one of the brightest lights of our age.
