[Oik]

Mother, I couldn't agree more. So, for the records, I'd like to state that I by chance caught Dr. Hahn on EWTN's the Journey Home about a month ago. He wsa talking about [i]Swear To God[/i]. I of course have been a waiting it's realease...that is until I purchased it about a week ago.

A great apologist and teacher? Yes.
A prohpet? No.

The 12 Apostles were the best teachers you could find, as they learned right at the feet of Jesus. But they weren't all what we'd consider prophets.

[voiciblanche]

The definition of a prophet is partially a "mouthpiece of God." Scott Hahn certainly acts as a mouthpiece of God in my opinion, so I said yes.

I agree! Plus read this Sacred Scripture


[quote][b][u]Joel 3:1-5[/u]

Then afterward I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;

Even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.[/b]

And I will work wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire, and columns of smoke;

The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, At the coming of the Day of the LORD, the great and terrible day.

Then everyone shall be rescued who calls on the name of the LORD; For on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant, as the LORD has said, And in Jerusalem survivors whom the LORD shall call. [/quote]

I don't quite remember all the details, but I do remember being really filled with awe when I read about one of his experiences from...I think it was his book 'Rome Sweet Home'.

hey rose!

scott hahn rocks socks!

[rhetoricfemme]

I'm just about to finish Rome Sweet Home, which I absolutely love. I equate the cheesecake option with, "He could be a prophet but I couldn't tell ya."

[JimR-OCDS]

For Scott Hahn to be a prophet, he'd have to be bringing prophecy to us.

A line from the Catholic Encyclopedia on "Prophecy" states;


[quote]
Understood in its strict sense, it means the foreknowledge of future events, though it may sometimes apply to past events of which there is no memory, and to present hidden things which cannot be known by the natural light of reason.
[/quote]

Scott Hahn, although a good writer and speaker, isn't bringing us new revelation or things that the Church doesn't already believe. Rather, he's presenting the already revealed truths in a language more easily understood by the average American Catholic.

I did enjoy reading "The Lambs Supper," while on retreat a few years ago.

I thought that it's generally accepted that John was the last of what are officially "prophets".

I'm flattered, but I usually spell my name without an "h".

[cmotherofpirl]

Yes, St John was. But people can point out God in our times - John Paul the Great, Mother Teresa, Archbishop Sheen, Father Corapi, Dorothy Day.

[Veridicus]

Scott Hahn was one of the first theologians of our time that I started reading. He really is great and approachable with an ability to connect dots in scripture and across centuries back to the writings of the Fathers. I voted no because I don't consider him prophetic as much as intelligent and in touch with tradition.

Hahn is right up there, but I think I like Sheen and Ratzinger better. The Christology Pope Benedict elucidated form the Sermon on the Mount in 'Jesus of Nazareth' was stunning.

Of course, my mistake.

[reyb]

Is he (Scott Hahn) a phatmasser?

[KeenanParkerII]

Scott Hahn is amazing, not least of all because he is a convert and communicates so well with people from a protestant background.
