The Fourth Cup

Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross

De: Scott Hahn

Narrado por: 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.

so good so compelling

I was also converted through a presbyterian seminary. This was an excellent read/listen. I highly recommend.

The Fourth Cup

What a fantastic book I read very slowly so I really enjoyed listening to this book. I finished it in an evening

Catholic

First off you do not need to be Catholic to take away understanding and love for Jesus, and the inspired words spoken in the bible, from this book. I was born and raised Catholic. Went to a Catholic school. Our theology classes never went into such depth, a total disservice to myself and fellow classmates. I have always said converts have a better learning and understanding of the faith/church than cradle Catholics. This book was written, I feel, with such love and respect of the Catholic church, Jesus, and the words spoken in the new and old testament. A need to share that love with everyone, Catholic or protestant. I have read a few of Scott Hahn's books...none of them have ever disappointed.

As usual, another great book by Dr. Scott Hahn.

It is a love story of the utmost importance. If you want to learn how to love like Jesus, read this book.

A great read no matter your dnomination

There is so much more to Catholicism than I rvrr nknew and mr Hahn invites you to look at those hidden meanings together

WOW!

I have read and listened to other works by Scott Hahn and they have always moved me in some way but this tops them all. Worth listening to or reading for all Christians and any who have questions about Christianity and faith.

Read book!

Definitely worth the four hours of listening. You can get it done in an afternoon while cleaning up the house. I appreciated the connection between the Passover and John’s Gospel. I would’ve liked to have more information on the use of cups in the New Testament. It was a great introduction for me to explore that part of theology. Yeah.
