Welcome to Consuming the Word, a new St. Paul Center podcast hosted by author, speaker, and scholar Dr. Scott Hahn. Dr. Hahn has spent decades traveling the country speaking to Catholics about Sacred Scripture. Now, he’s bringing many of his most popular talks to you on Consuming the Word. As Catholics, it’s important for us to understand the biblical roots of our faith: from the Mass to morality, from spirituality to the sacraments, from doctrines and devotions. Consuming the Word will touch on these issues and many more, all while remaining anchored to Scripture. This podcast will give you keys for interpreting Scripture that will help you get more out of the Mass and navigate some of the challenges we face as Catholics. For the first time, decades of Dr. Hahn’s most profound and popular talks will be at your fingertips in one place. You might hear a few references to past popes and presidents every now and then, but the biblical insights are as fresh and new as they were when Dr. Hahn first discovered them. We'll cover some common objections to the faith that many non-Catholics have, and we'll unpack the Scriptures that have the most relevance to our lives and our understanding of Catholic teaching. We'll go deep into the letters of St. Paul, the Gospel of John, the book of Revelation—not to mention the Old Testament. We'll read the Church Fathers and Aquinas and so many others. From time to time, you'll also hear talks from some of our brightest and best St. Paul Center Fellows, like John Bergsma, Brant Pitre, and Curtis Mitch, just to name a few. We hope you'll begin listening to Consuming the Word and end by breaking open your Bible to encounter the Word of God personally.
