Book Reviews of Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God
Book Review: Best of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Scott Hahn is certainly the # 1 Theologian in Biblical Theology in USA. His education, his biblical and doctrinal foundations, the depth, richness and quality of his theological reflection touch its summit in this treatise on the Mother of Jesus. In my personal journey of Faith, the greatest reward from having learned the English language is the spiritual and intellectual delight I experience when I meditate on Scott Hahn writings. As a Christian, I see the conversion story of Scott Hahn as important and meaningful for our times and for the USA as it was the one of the apostle Paul in his historical context.
Answer to Joseph Arechiga
Poor Biblical Theology
"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?" Matt. 13:55 (King James Version to reassure Protestants)
This Scriptural passage is taken by Protestants as a clear Scriptural evidence against the Perpetual Virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and as a proof against the truthfulness of the Magisterial and Traditional Teachings of the Catholic Church.
But it's precisely this Protestant understanding of Scriptures which self reveals the limited knowledge that Protestants have of the Bible and the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the Protestant Method.
That is why the best of Protestant Theologians, like Scott Hahn, convert to Catholicism.
The Protestant Method is "Sola Scriptura": by Scripture alone. Protestants make of Scriptures what Scriptures do not make of themselves. As a matter of fact, the Holy Scriptures themselves point to the Catholic Church as the source of truthful interpretation: 1 Timothy 3:15 "The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of the Truth." Scriptures don't say anywhere that they are the Pillar and Foundation of the Truth. That means that if you want to have truth from Scriptures you cannot separate them from the Catholic Church.
But for the sake of this argument and to prove how Protestants contradict themselves let us use the Principle "Sola Scriptura" and apply it to this Protestant argument:
Based on a Protestant reading of Matt. 13:55, Jesus had blood brothers.
Well, in light of a comparative study of the Scriptures themselves this assertion is completely false.
1) Thanks to the letter of the apostle Paul to the Galatians and to the Letter of the apostle Jude, we know that 2 out of 4 of these "so called brothers" are apostles: James and Judas Thaddeus (or Jude).
"But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother" (Galatians 1:19).
"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James" (Jude 1:1).
2) Thanks to the lists of the names (and "last" names) of the apostles in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, we know with Scriptural certainty that there are no James son of "Joseph" or son of the "carpenter". James and Jude are sons of "Alpheus" and the other James is the son of "Zebedee".
SCRIPTURAL CONCLUSION: "James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas (Matt.13:55)" are not the children of Joseph the Carpenter. Consequently they are not the children of Mary. Period. Even a child can prove this point!!!
Matt 10:2, 4 "Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: the first Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus (Judas Thaddeus);
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him."
Luke 6:13, 16 "Simon (whom he also named Peter), and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,
And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor."
Can you see why the most knowledgeable Protestants in the country are becoming Catholics?
Summary of Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God
A fresh and enlightening new perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith, from the author of the highly successful The Lamb's Supper.In The Lamb's Supper, Catholic scholar and apologist Scott Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message.
Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king.
Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.
