Letter and Spirit: From Written Text to Living Word in the Liturgy Book

Scott Hahn has inspired millions of readers with his perceptive and unique view of Catholic theology and worship, becoming one of the most looked-to contemporary authorities in these areas. In Letter and Spirit, Hahn extends the message he began in The Lamb s Supper, offering far-reaching and profound insights into what the Bible teaches us about living the spiritual life. For both Christians and Jews, the texts of the Bible are not simply records of historical events. They are intended, through public recitations in churches and synagogues, to bring listeners and readers into the sweeping story of redemption as it unfolds in the Bible. Focusing on the Catholic Mass, Hahn describes how God s Word is meant to open our eyes to the life-giving power of the sacraments, and how the liturgy brings about the actualization of the saving truths of Scripture. Letter and Spirit will help readers understand the relationship between the Bible and the Mass in a deeper way.
