rhetoricfemme Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 [quote name='reyb' date='21 January 2010 - 07:57 PM' timestamp='1264121828' post='2041913'] Is he (Scott Hahn) a phatmasser? [/quote] Perhaps he should be made an honorary phatmasser and sent a message about it. What are other folks' favorite writings by him? Or lectures? I'm wanting to keep him high on my reading list right now.
Nihil Obstat Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Only thing I've read by him so far was Hail Holy Queen, but it was very good and I plan on reading more.
Slappo Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Well... Scott Hahn is a prophet, but no more a prophet then all of us. All baptized are baptized into the roll of priest, prophet, and king. Read John Paul II's [i]Christefideles Laici[/i] On Christ's Faithful Laity.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Dr. Hahn is actually a better communicator than a theologian. Don't get me wrong, he's a very good theologian, but what he's really known for is being able to explain the faith.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 He communicates the truth well...but prohpet. I would go with No. I have read some Scott Hahn but ultimately hasn't come up with anything terribly new. Perhaps I need to read more of his books to get a better understanding of any of his new ideas (a fact which I am open to). However, currently I would put him as far as substance is concerned far behind the Church Fathers, St. Anselm, St. Thomas Aquinas, Karl Rahner, Andre Delubac, and Aristotle and Plato. Good communicator yes...terribly original no. Now that is not a bad thing. Simply accurately communicating the tradition is vastly important but synthesizing ideas and pushing them is really what I look for if I am going to call someone "the prophet of our times".
picchick Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Not a prophet in the way you mean it. A good teacher? Maybe but not a prophet.

reyb Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Why not invite him here and let us see if he is truly a Prophet.
