The Fourth Cup – The secrets of the Last Supper and the crucifixion

In this introduction and even continuation of his book The Lamb's Supper, the author not only delves into his path to the Catholic Church, but also explores the misunderstood ritual of the Jewish Passover and its importance in the saving message of Jesus Christ. In his hunger for answers during his student years, Hahn shows his search for connections between the Old Testament, the Last Supper and the death of Jesus on Calvary. He thus discovers the crucial importance of Passover in the plan of salvation designed by God, where the fourth cup of wine, at the end of the celebration, provides a fundamental key to understanding the mystery more deeply. Scott W. Hahn is professor of Theology and Sacred Scripture at the Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio), and was appointed by Benedict XVI as professor of Biblical Theology and Liturgical Proclamation at Saint Vincent Seminary (Pennsylvania). He is married and the father of six children. His books include: Rome, Sweet Home; The Lamb's Supper; Hail, Queen and Mother; Love comes first; Lord, have mercy; Committed to God; Ordinary work, extraordinary grace; The joy of Bethlehem; Faith is reasonable; and The Creed, all of them published by Rialp.
