"Scott Hahn's Novelties"

[jimmy]

Tarcisius:

Dr. Hahn also says that Adam’s sin wasn’t disobedience but was his refusal to fight a dragon! He says, “Would he stand up for his bride by engaging the diabolical serpent in mortal combat? . . . Adam was unwilling to lay down his own life . . . to save the life of his beloved. That refusal to sacrifice was Adam’s original sin.” I never even heard a Protestant say anything like that.

I am not sure what exactly Dr. Hahn says, but he ma be saying that Adams job was to protect Eve from sin and Evil - the dragon maybe satan - but he did not.

I have no idea what the other things are you mention.

Hahn’s use of allegory and symbolism, reflecting Adam not stepping up to the dragon…but later Jesus doing so…remember, Jesus is the NEW Adam…perfecting all the sin and deficiencies in the old Adam… fits in FINE with Church Teaching…

ANYWAY…

Does anyone have any info on when/if Dr. Hahn is going to release the rest of the New Testament Ignatius Study Bible?

I see he has stopped at Romans if I am correct…

I recently purchased the Navarre COMPACT New Testament (wish I bought the separate issues…maybe later) for $35. It contains less commentary than the separate volumes, and I gotta give it up to Scott Hahn…I also own the Ignatius Study Bibles of the 4 Gospels and Acts… and Hahn gives MUCH more insight than the Navarre COMPACT does.

Does anyone own the Navarre separate volumes AND the ISB w/Hahn Commentary? If so…how would you rate the two against one another?

Next Issue is out … saw it advertised yesterday…think it included Hebrews.

Compare the two… you will see that much of Hahn’s commentary is an expansion on the Navarre.

The 12 volume New Testament does contain not only more commentary, but also excellant reference material in the front of the soft cover editions.

The 12 were re-issued into two hard cover volumes… Gospels and Acts, and the New Testament… each with less commentary than the original. And so far there are 5 hard cover volumes of the OT - all very good.

If you want a superb work… purchase the Gospel of Matthew Apologetic Study Bible, by Robert Sungenis. It is the first of 12-13 volumes called the CASB as a group – Catholic Apologetic Study Bible. Purchase direct…www.catholicintl.com

I realize there are other apologists who “compete” with Sungenis for reliability, but some will sometimes insert too much opinion. If you are familiar with Not By Faith Alone, Not By Scripture Alone, Not By Bread Alone etc by Sungenis, you will agree with all (including Dr. Hahn and other notable apologists and orthodox bishops) who laud his tremendous efforts at factual reporting. Early Fathers, Councils, Church History, etc are forefront in his works. Owning and having read them all, as well as many other current apologists’ works, well… I have formed my opinion and can only say…enjoy!

By the way, I personally feel that if Not By Scripture and Not By Faith had been written 500 years ago there would not have been a Reformation. But look how much we have learned because of it… so God does know what He is doing.:clapping:

Thanks for the info

I was a little dismayed when I was reading Revelations in Navarre COMPACT, when there was no commentary in regards to Jezebel in the letter to Thyatira (Church)…was Jesus using allegory? Was he referring to an actual harlot? Was it symbolism? I was totally left hanging as to WHO she was if an actual person as well as those who laid with her…I couldnt believe there was NOTHING for commentary on this.
