About Consuming the Word
In Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church, Scott Hahn explores the intimate relationship between the New Testament and the Eucharist in the life of the early Church. He argues that the New Testament was first understood as the New Covenant celebrated in the Eucharistic liturgy before it became the collection of inspired books Christians know today. Drawing on Scripture, history, and the writings of the early Church, Hahn demonstrates how the Bible and the Mass belong together. With a foreword by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, this insightful work deepens readers’ appreciation of Catholic worship, Scripture, and the New Evangelization.
