ABOUT SCOTT:
Dr. Scott Hahn is the founder and president of the St. Paul Center and has written numerous books on biblical theology. He holds the Father Michael Scanlan, T.O.R., Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught since 1990. He and his wife, Kimberly, live in Steubenville, Ohio.
Id hate to be his friend when he has to move...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have a library in your basement?! Scott, that's goals !!
Check out the channel Capturing Christianity, he did a tour
@@tony1685 spoken like an ignoramus. Obviously u don't really know Scott Hahn.
Yeah. He's the man. His private library is bigger than the entire library of the university I attended. Lol! I love Dr. Scott Hahn.
@@tony1685 Really?
I believe what you know and hold as Christianity; you're convinced is the truth. And as such Scott Hahn is wrong and you're right. That's quite interesting. But What if an Angel of God appears to you to tell you that you're wrong, will you accept and repent of your disbelief?
Though I don't opine that you're wrong and the Catholic Church is right. Neither do I opine here that the Catholic Church is wrong and you're right.
But if you really believe you're right and the Catholic Church is wrong; please kindly go down on your kneels and pray to God sincerely. Ask him to reveal to you the truth of his revelation. And also tell him that you will accept whatever he reveals to you. Be sincere about it when you ask. Tell God you want to be in the place that he endorses as his one true church; even if it's the Catholic Church. Be humble enough to accept this token of love which I request.
I do believe most times we never get answers because we believe we know something. But actually we are quite distant from the truth of what we believe we know. And we can spend all the days of our life convinced that what we believe is the truth and what other people believe are false. Such convictions comes with flagrant arrogance, and lack of humility. In any life where such arrogance and lack of humility is found; no matter how righteous you tend to be, how prayerful you are you will never hear the voice of God speak to you. All you would hear which will inform that belief you hold convincingly, will be your emotions. Ones religious experience in such a situation becomes nothing more than an emotional experience.
Truth can only be gotten by humility. So brother, I would be glad if you ask God to reveal to you the truth of his revelation. Have an open mind when you pray this prayer. Tell him if the Catholics are right and you're wrong He should reveal it to you. But if the Catholics are wrong and you're right; he should make you stronger in the belief that you have.
Remember God answers all prayers. And also God will not lie to you. He will give to you as you have asked. And open the door to you as you have knocked.
May God's wisdom and peace be with you, as you seek, you knock and you ask.
I write from Nigeria.
@@tony1685 you clearly have not read his books or heard his conferences. I wish you find the truth someday. God have mercy on you. God bless
I'm enjoying your Study Bible New Testament... I'll be looking forward to the Old T. I don't think I'll be able to buy it, though, I'm currently unemployed. Pray for me.
Yes, my friend. I will pray for you. From a Brazilian friend.
I’m very far from rich, but I could spare one I guess (if it’s not too expensive for my budget). When it comes out, just tell me where I can send it to you but only as an Amazon eBook sorry.
Fred A was so generous he has inspired me to do the same. If you want a bound version , let me know. I can afford it. You'll have to tell me where to send it somehow. Are you on Facebook? You could friend me and you could then PM your info.
God bless you and may St. Joseph help you find work and persevere in the time of unemployment. My brother was 32 when he committed suicide on May 7, 2020, because of constant anxiety about his work and high rent. May God help you see your worth and the worth of your time, even in poverty. God bless you.
@@evavanvollenhoven1782 I am so sorry about your brother. I can't imagine your pain. Please share your brother's name for masses for his soul.
As a librarian I love this sneak peek at your personal Library. Very impressive!
Dr. Hahn, publish the Ignatius Study Bible Old+New Testaments in ONE VOLUME PLEASE! It can be big, we don't mind!
It's done! Pre-order at Ignatius Press now, hardcover and leather bound available.
My wife complains that I have too many books. But compared to you I really don't.
I just started classes at Franciscan and good to know I don't need to go by something, I live in a RV so your library is bigger than my house but in my limited space I've got the summa and a collection of the early Church father's...my wife's the Bible collector but I've got several different ones.
Thank you so much Dr. Scott Hahn....you are a blessing to the Catholic Church!
What an asset of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and the University of Steubenville.
Kinda baited me but I'm nonetheless grateful. I'm loving Holy Scripture more and more every single day.
Dr Hahn, just get a Kindle!!!
😂😂😂
Lol I'll pass on the message
@@ccbarr58 Kindle saves space in my small apartment! But I love paper books best.
I'm looking forward to the complete Ignatius Catholic study Bible!
What about your favorite literature (fiction, poetry)?
This library!!! 😍 I hope I’ll have my own someday
Where is Old Testament study Bible?
Somewhat predictable picks lol
That Old Testament Ignatius Study Bible... it's going to be worth the (continued, lol) wait! The NT and the individual OT volumes are already the gold standard, and I enjoy reading them cover to cover while referencing the Catechism. Thanks Dr. Hahn for all your work!
You just inspire me more and more to love God and church...thank you Dr. Scott.🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌍🌍🌍
Thanks, Dr. Hahn, for everything. And nice tan!
Looking forward to that personal tour, Dr.! God bless you and your big family!!!🙏🙏🙏
Wonder what Dr. Hahn’s favorite catechism is...
Hi Scott, just signed up for the St. Paul Center access and I have learned so much! Feels like I am back at Boston college taking theology courses. I was thinking maybe you should work on a series dedicated to the church fathers and their bible commentary that would be great! Thanks for the recommendations! :)
Hi Lisa, thank you for this suggestion! You might like our series on Emmaus Academy, "The Bible and the Church Fathers", which can be found at the following link:

God Bless!
@@StPaulCenter absolutely, will do!! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍
I have your NT study bible and can't wait to get the OT. What an amazing library you have.
1
Amen ❤
Oh yeah, is the complete ignatious study bible OT-NT out for purchase yet?
Dr Hahn ... I love your collection ... Thanks for Sharing ...
I sincerely feel sorry and sad that someone wastes their life and devotes it to the Bible, Aquinas and Augustine.
Doesn't seem like "right and wholesome speech" Dharma Defender. You might want to review your eightfold path.
I do not have much space, so I pass them and keep the ones I keep using as reference.
sometimes i take only this argument for believing in God..on one side you have people like this, read more than 40 000 books on theology and many other areas, wrote many books, believing in God full of joy based on reason, knowledge and experience....On the other side you have average guy raised on mtv and netflix saying all this God stuff is just nonsense....Who are you goin to trust? Guys like Scott or average "modern" type of people?
I doubt he has actually read all those 45,000 books, as in 'critically reading and thinking about it, studying it' which according to someone like Noam Chomsky is much more important then the speed with which you read.
The problem with this 'argument from authority' is that there are experts in all sorts of fields, including among other things pseudo-sciences. There are probably guys you have read thousands of books on Islamic scripture, does that mean they are right about if Islam is the one true religion?
Long story short, it's about how you think not what you think. If you study the irrelevant things, it's all in vain.
@@Eddieshred ok, even if its not 45 000,lers make it 10 000..my point still stands. Im not sayin he is 100% right about everything, that he knows everything, nobody is. Point is im rather listen to him than some average Joe... Whats your point? That he is pseudo? That he did not read critically? That he read wrong books? Oh really? And what are the "right" books? You basically want to say this guy is an idiot with bunch of books? Based on what? You have no arguments for anything you say.... Just be honest and say you refuse to believe in God no matter who you listen and how many are presented to you.. And thats fine, its your choice, so will be a consequences
@@lawmaker22 I don't doubt he is well read on matters to do with the Bible or theology. My point is not that all that he's a charlatan or incompetent, my point is that all his knowlegde is based on the premise that God exists and Christianity is true. I will believe in God when there is sufficient evidence for me to believe. I couldn't care less about the source be it a friend or a scolar. Ofcourse regarding theology I would rather listen to this man too than some average Joe, I would fully agree with you on that.
This bookworm’s eyes just got big!
Scott, maybe you should have been a monk...but then, you wouldn't been a prof for my Masters!!
50,000 books what a collection🙏🙏🙏God bless you
So can’t wait for the Old Testament study bible . Thank you
Jealous! I had a nice library & then had to move & thinned out my collection a lot but not your books Scott! I have them still & loan them out often to inquiring souls! God bless!
Thank you Dr. Hahn!!
Constantine made the biblical Jesus into a god to propagate the Roman empire. The Emperor Hadrian 350 years before Jesus was allegedly born wrote about the Bishops of Christ in Kemet.
At best Jesus is a powerful egregore as anyone who has looked at the Thanatology literature will understand. I am not buying Christian Orthodoxy give me the Gospel of Thomas every time.
Wow!!!!!! That’s incredible!!!! Thanks Dr Hahn for sharing!!! Next time maybe you can give us a tour in your library!!!😍👍👍
How many hours do you read a day?
Dr Hahn I have the kindle version of your Ignatius new testament study bible - will the old testament also be on kindle - I'm hoping and praying it will be available
St. Augustine didn't know Greek.
You better have a fire-extinguisher, sprinkler-system and exit-sign down there!
So excited you will be finishing the OT!
Which is the best Bible with more detail & explainations, am not a bookworm but i want to really dig deep in the Bible. I have ordinally Bible no explainations
Did you inherit other libraries? I remember my Philosophy professor had many thousands of books in his private library as he inherited two private libraries from two former professors of his in addition to his own collection.
I heard a couple of the reason & theology guys say that they don't think that the full study Bible will ever come out. It seemed like they were serious (maybe they were joking). Does anybody know a time frame when we can expect this? I'm a recent convert and am holding off on buying a Bible until I know what's up with this one.
Not helpful. "Scripture" is not a book but a collection of books. So which book of the Bible is your favorite then? Also, favorite books that are not revealed would have been nice.
As Dr. Hahn ages, his countenance morphs more and more into one of the Patriarchs. In this short clip he bears a fairly strong resemblance to a middle-aged Moses.
Wow this is so cool, thanks for sharing Scott!
I like sint anselm although he does not have any major systematic works he is still top tier
Dr Scott. I would like to know what you think of the book of sirach in the bible. I feel it is truly amazing and has many life lessons. Thank you
May we all get more out of reading the Bible!
I love the Summa .... I use the Electronic Version !!
I love the Good News Bible Catholic edition.
This is amazing!!!
Thank Dr Hanh
I wanted to hear some not-obvious favorites! Can't wait to purchase an Ignatius OT Study Bible :)
That is something. Goodness me. 😳
One question: What's your favourite English translation of the Bible and why?
One suggestion: don't just sit there and talk to camera. Take us around! The camera can move!
What did you think of Logos Rising?
Oh man! I'd love to get the complete Bible study when that comes out, so I can purchase both testaments together. To hear Old Test study is coming soon is great news.
Wait! Back up . . . that's your BASEMENT?! Nice! Thought it was St Paul Center HQ.
I agree Scott, definetely the Holy Biblie is my favorite as well 👍
BEST BOOK ON ST PAUL? PLEASE
cant wait to see ur library. Also for the whole study bible from u
wow, this dr. hahn guy must hit up the tanning salon at least once a week
One thing I would like there to be is for someone to do Augustine's Confessions in fairly easy to read and study format. We've just sort of finished reading it in my Church History class and we all rather agree that it wasn't an easy read to get through and we were asked if we would recommend the book to someone else I said for one said "Yes, but I would also make sure they had the Cliffnotes with them."
Ascension Press has a podcast called Catholic Classics. The Dominican Friars will be reading and commentating on The Confessions this season!
thanks dr hahn!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is really admirable. Wish I could get a hundredth of his character when it comes to personal formation.
Oh my I will love to be there!
For some of us a book was a turning point in our lives. I remember trying to read the Bible but it was not giving me what I was looking for: HOW do I get rid off vice? How do I change? A book that gave me the answer was about Medjugorje. It changed my life.
Can you please share the title and author? This subject also interests me and I’d love to read the book you referenced. Thanks
Yes please share the title of that book. There's many books on that subject. A Light Between The Hills by Heather Parsons serves as a good introduction
Thank you Dr. Hahn. I am really looking for to reading your Ignatius study bible and just have to say that is an amazing personal library. It looks like it is so large you have had to apply the Dewey Decimal System.
Dr. Hahn you talked a lot about scripture and you talked a bit about you favorite version of the Summa, so what is your favorite version of scripture, I am guessing the Ignatious study bible which is an rsv but I have been wrong before.
2:48 I was half-expecting him to say "...and that is... Rome Sweet Home." 😂
Francis is a beacon for all generations ! Another Christ ; He truly embodied the gospel.
Thanks Scott for the comment at 0.54 that the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible being completed in about a month. On another UA-cam video - Cross Purposes (2019 Defending the Faith conference), posted on 27 September 2019 - you said that the ICSB would be completed "next week" (i.e early October 2019). I assume that these two rather different completion dates refer to different stages in the writing and editing process. Can you tell us anything about how many stages remain and when the OT might be published? Many thanks in anticipation.
Whats your favourite fictional book
Fr Elijah by Michael D O'Brien
Scott,
I'd love to hear your pro's & con's of certain Protestant theologians as BB Warfield, Cornelius Van Til and especially RJ Rushdoony. I would assume from your theological foundation starting as a Presbyterian you'd have some very insightful comments.
In fact, this might make an excellent book...especially when put into juxtaposition to essential Catholic theologians and their contributions.
Thank you for your Faithfulness to God's Kingdom and his Holy Church!
Thomas Aquinas' _Summa_ has some good philosophical theology in it but there are also some errors in it. Aquinas, who could not read Greek, made some mistakes since he was reading the NT through the lens of St Augustine, who also never read the NT in Greek. "Doctor of the Church" does not mean that Aquinas got everything right, as I'm sure Scott Hahn himself would admit. I mean: can we really believe that the blessed in heaven will _delight_ to see the tortures of the damned? I doubt it.
The abundance of books does not correlate with knowledge of the truth of God. It’s sad to see so many people, even as well read as Scott, not flee from the false teachings of the Roman church.
45.000 books later.... hold up, he's read 45000 books????? no way.
Hopefully the title of Doctor of the Church will be given to Scott Hahn some day.
What do you think of the Journey of Faith for Adults for RCIA collection as a catechism? Or have you heard of it? It’s from Liguori Publications.
Forty-five thousand books in your basement library. OMG! I am green with jealousy Scott. I wish I could steal them.all!
God bless you. Keep giving more of your wisdom to all those who listen and love you.
From india.a fellow Christian.
I hope it's waterproof, unlike mine. I would cry!
Bless you!
Scott Hahn has written so prolifically I would appreciate suggestions on where to start with his work???
I have one book in my library and it's the book of the Holy Scriptures!!!
First, it’s a collection - a library - of books. Second, just a word of caution though, if you read it by itself and without reference to other writings that would put them into their proper context, well, most likely you’d ever so often have erroneous (and possibly even heretical) interpretations. Just look at Joel Osteen and the millions of his followers that constantly interpret the Scripture in the wrong way, deliberately or otherwise.
There is 66 books in the Bible
@@Shindler39 there are actually 73 books and praise God for speaking to us through those sacred writings!
@@impasse0124 According to the Catholic Bible you are right. Are you a Theologian?
@@Shindler39 no I’m not a theologian but I am fascinated by the Scriptures and I love to study them.
Through New Eyes by James B. Jordan is the answer
Dr. Hahn do we have a timeline yet as to the release of the Old Testement volume of Ignatius?
I kinda wonder how much time it would take to re-read all those books in your basement....let alone all your main library books upstairs?
So, um, links to that Blackfriar's Summa?
What does Joe have to say about all this?
Joe who?
President Joe Mama!
That’s not a basement. That’s a well to draw from as Christendom is restored after the chastisements.
I am trying to start a sacraments study program at my Church…any suggestions for me?
Some of my friends went to Jerusalem few years ago and they were told me.the some Jewish gave to them a paper saying prove Jesucristo is son of David with the Christian book.
How many of those books have you actually read?
Dr. Hahn, is the Lord of the Rings a part of your collection?
Sir, I request you to kindly read the book " the gospel as revealed to me" by Maria Voltorta. It's an an account of our Lord's life which He revealed to her from the birth of His blessed Mother to Her assumption in to heaven
Thanks much for this video.
Oh wow …”and as a Dr ,he has healed me” what a truth. Truth.
