Our Faith Discussion Group meeting continued Thursday with a discussion of Chapter 3 of Scott Hahn’s The Fourth Cup.….Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross. As each week goes by we’ll be discussing a new chapter…there are 14 chapters in the book. Did you ever think of the last supper as a mystery? If you have or if you haven’t this is the meeting for you…a deep and revealing dive into events and symbols we’re all so familiar with. Plus everything seems totally relevant to current day experiences.

Chapter 3 introduced us to terms biblical scholars use to describe the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament. For example Typology…the study of persons, events or things in the Old Testament as foreshadowings or prototypes that are fulfilled in the New Testament. All Christians agree that Jesus is prefigured in the Hebrew Scriptures. Knowing and being exposed to this prefiguring and fulfillment enriches our understanding of God’s plan for all of us. Each member of our discussion group eagerly anticipates the reading, study and discussion of the next chapter. And to add even more detail and depth, relevant bible passages are provided so one can read from scripture the passage(s) that support Dr. Hahn’s presentation Jennifer Fulwiler Radio Host of the Jennifer Fulwiler show on The Catholic Channel on Sirius XM …writes…”Scott Hahn revolutionizes our understanding of this sacrament by conveying profound concepts in a simple prose. You’ll never see the Eucharist the same way again after you read “The Fourth Cup”.
