And allow me to point out that as the book was being completed, he discovered that the Early Church Fathers had known this "key"--that the book of Revelation described a liturigical celebration--from the earliest days of the Church. It turned Dr. Hahn on to the study of these magnificent scholars who carried the Faith within their writings from shortly after the death of the Apostles!

Exactly!

As Scott Hahn said correctly that when he was a Protestsant-he wasted too much time with one eye constantly on the news along with spending too much time on the Book of Revelation trying to predict the end times.

This is why we need to read and interpret the Bible like the Saints and the Church interpreted the Bible thru the ages.If we don,t do this we are going to get it wrong.

Last time a checked there was over 36,000 different protestant denominations with many different interpretations of Scripture.
