- Why is studying the Bible in college so often injurious to faith? Is it because scientific investigation of the Bible has the power to debunk it? Or could there be something wrong with the way modern scholarship engages with the Word of God? Scott Hahn, co-author of The Decline and Fall of Sacred Scripture, takes us on a seven-century journey toward answering these questions.

You r brilliant Dr.Hahn. No stone goes unturned when you approach a subject. The Holy Spirit dwells in you. May God continue to bless you to help us understand Him. Tq
Dr. Scott Hahn and Catholic Answers-the ultimate duo!
Thank you all for fathering families that produce vocations.
Hopefully in Christ or it is just a vacation
I could listen to Dr. Scott Hahn all day!
Thank you! 🌷
And over and over again🙏😇
Myself.
If Jesus wanted scholars and PHDs as his 12 Apostles, he would have picked Scribes and Pharisees. It’s amazing what the Holy Spirit can do once upon you.
There were no PHDs back then... and why would he choose the very people who crucified him? Makes no sense... however if you read the biblical commentary of St. John Chrysostom, there is no doubt that the early church had many scholars who guided them. Even St. Peter went around teaching the apostolic fathers.
Having said this, nearly every Protestant denomination on the planet prays that The Holy Spirit would help them interpret the scriptures and all of the thousands of interpretation that have come out of Protestantism, Protestants believe are inspired by The Holy Spirt but in reality... none of them are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Only The Magesterium is
@@famvids9627 your claims don’t hold water when in fact Jesus did pick a person who facilitated his death (Judas) and many/most who denied him or abandoned Jesus, during his most need (Peter and the rest lest John). My claim still stands. He did not pick scribes or Pharisees of the day, but men who through the Holy Spirit was appointed to do great things. Having a degree of today or a title at a school of thought of philosophy of that day, does not make one spiritually qualified to serve as a shepherd in the church (see the letters of Timothy and Titus for the special qualifications of elders bishops and deacons, and by extension Priests). Your example of St. John Chrysostom is not relevant since he did not know Jesus nor the 12 when Jesus started his ministry. Saint John Chrysostom was born into a Christian family in Antioch in the year 349 AD.
But isn't it amazing how everyone has a different opinion on it and would have had also in Saint Peter Saint Pauls days too had the bible been around that they would have had to correct as they did anyway to community.
Well, St. Paul was a pharisee. I get what you're saying, but sometimes the Holy Spirit does want scholars.
@@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt Read 2 Timothy 3:16 and get back to us…
Heartfelt gratitude to both Catholic Answers and the St. Paul Center. I ordered all 3 today at the insistence of my wife. The fruits of these historical machinations has been devastating in our families, the political realm, and the soul of our country. Thank you for providing what I'm sure is the studied, thoughtful wisdom that we can use in discussions.
The book by Dr. Pitre and Dr. Bergsma that's on the left of Dr. Hahn is a wonderful resource to study Scripture the way we ought to.
What is the title?
@@bibibuu6646 that's right! :-)
@@krysta-ajhaah-min-yah8368 a catholic introduction to the Bible, The Old Testament
By John Bergsma & Brant Pitre
Its a big thick book of course, I haven't read it yet, but ik it has alot of typology
Yay! Back in my young adult days in Boston, a number of us, catholics and protestants, mostly PhD and MD students at BU, MIT and Harvard, critically reviewed some of the textual criticism of the day and found it quite wanting, scientifically. It was full of circular arguments and what we in the hard sciences would consider pseudoscience. Glad you are highlighting these things and bringing a new sense of reading the Bible responsibly.
Textual criticism is the technique of restoring texts as nearly as possible to their original form. You may be thinking of something else.
Thank you so much, Dr. Hahn! I went to a Protestant seminary and all I can say is that you’ve so wonderfully diagnosed the problem that I sighed with relief when I watched this video. I look forward to reading the book- thank you, sir!
Love Scott Hahn. God bless him and his family. Also, he looks like Padre Pio more and more each year. 🙏😇
That Scott Hahn is smart fellow.
Seriously and he is SO humble! He is so blessed. God works through him and Dr Hahn happily and readily responds to the Holy Spirit
Absolutely hench why I love to watch him from New Zealand 🇳🇿 he is meek and humble of heart. God bless you Dr Scott Hahn. 🇳🇿🙏📿❤️
Scripture Matters is Scott Hahn's most underrated book :)
Thank you Mr. Scott Hahn for sharing your knowledge... God bless.
Love Scott Hahn's humility. Thank you for reminding us.
To believe comes from our hearts. From love and from our soul.
as Plato commented, a potter knows one thing, making pots, but thinks because he knows how to make pots he thinks he knows other things as well.
Scott Hahn’s books “Rome Sweet Home” and “The Fourth Cup” are excellent books. It stands out to me that Scott has an amazing humility about himself that allows him to deny his own biases and personal feelings and opinions, and seek truth the truth, and then take the actions which come from the truth that is revealed to him through his vigorous diligence in his study. I admired his virtuous qualities very much, and I’m thankful for his beautiful example.
I would apply this to some Church documents, too. For example, Vatican II: if you read it as it defines itself, using the supplementary footnotes, you start to see how awesome and true to tradition it is.
I’d be careful with that. Church documents aren’t to be seen in the same way as the Bible. Therefore, I don’t think they should be interpreted or studied in the same way. Vatican II did away (somewhat) with the Latin Mass and it created so many negative outcomes/consequences in the Church. I believe there were some things that were good from Vatican II but I cannot accept what they did to the Mass of all ages.
It's the ego imperative of certain scholars that stands in the way of divine light. Thank you Dr. Hahn for dissecting the obfuscation.
Thank you guys for all the great teaching, God bless you all.
Great interview about Dr. Hahn's great new book. Thank you!
Fantastic !!!! Oh boy finally some oxygen instead of the overwhelming toxic fumes we get these days. This is just pure Joy thanks CA and Doc Hahn. "The Truth Shall Set You Free" Our Lords own words coming alive in this gem of a show.
Holy mackerel this was good. I don't make many comments on videos, so wow. And what an ending. Let's go!!
Thank you for this fascinating and important video. God bless. ♥
Scott Hahn thank you so much
Thank you Thamk You Thank You➕
22:05 Cy really hit the nail on the head here;
Similar to how most atheist arguments are about keeping the believer ‘on their back foot’ (rather than proving any atheist position), the main outcome of modern biblical scholarship is to make God and scripture feel like the other artifacts one studies in university.
At that point, the reason a person asks a question is more important than any of the answers. All scholars have to do is get them half way there, and a student’s skepticism/religious fatigue does the rest.
I actually started Politicizing the Bible, a couple years ago, borrowed from KU Library, but I had to return it before I got a quarter through it. The condensed, distilled version should be better, but what I read before, this is good stuff.
O... you mean, you started reading the book. I thought you "started politicising the Bible". I was like ... what!!!
Absolutely excellent
Man I wish I could express thoughts like you….God bless ya!
Excellent work! I'd suggest continuing on back through history to Saints Thomas Aquinas, Albert the Great, and even Augustine, all of whom are predecessors to 14th century philosophers.
As someone who is debating between Lutheranism and Catholicism, this video was particularly revealing. I suppose I have some more research to do ;)
I went Catholic to LCMS Lutheran. Stay!
Read the early church fathers and they resemble the RCC the most. It’s the true faith brother!
I have. That’s a big leap. I’ll side on the side of scripture. The church is very inconsistent
Putting complete faith in Christ is key. Catholics are saved, no doubt
try lookint at the you tube videos "On the journey with Matt and Ken" Great stuff.... Lots of answers to questions.
Very insightful.
I loved the bit at the end when Dr hahn called us "WE" , we are we and we must always remember that we are one. One Holy Catholic apostolic Church
I would rather say “we” as referring to humanity as a whole rather than just one religion
@@thescoobymike God gave the universal (Catholic) religion for all of humanity, but He will not force you to accept it. If you choose not to, you are choosing to distance yourself from humanity. That is your choice, but you cannot accept everyone to be terrorized by your desire to separate yourself forever.
@@VACatholic terrorized?
@@thescoobymike Yes?
@@thescoobymike I would rather say "We" as in the whole human race also but its just not the way it is. There is wheat and there is weeds
It’s true. People mistakenly think that we know for a fact that the gospels were not written by who they are attributed to, but that’s false. The actual fact is that we cannot critically scientifically verify that they were, and we rely on tradition. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
Very interesting content.
I have bought the ebook and am well into it. My goodness the Catholic church is in a mess! I thought I just had bad luck in being in 3 different parishes, consecutively, and had Priests who openly declared the bible a myth, the Real Presence was not!! and their lifestyles were decidely unpriestly. Now I find that it has been systemic for hundreds of years. God have mercy on us.
Of course.
Roman Priests are not Christians to begin with.
Completely fake religion masquerading as true Christianity.
Get out!
I think there is a balance between ones knowledge of catechesis and 1st hand knowledge of scripture. Its a challenging thing but it is so important.
34:15 “As a matter of historical fact, the scriptures were written, compiled and read in a liturgical context, in an ecclesial setting. That’s where they’re going to make the most sense-where they were written to be read. “
Thanks Catholic Answers for this
So if they've robbed us of something why would we say at the same time they've done good. We always compliment somebody before we critique them I've never liked that
Ijust now bought the book
Ordering these books today!
OT are my favorite books
To properly enter the 'forest' of the Bible, particularly the writings of the Hebrew Covenant, i.e., the Old Testament, one must be looking for Someone hidden among the 'trees, plants and shrubs': "Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He (Jesus) interpreted to them what referred to Him in all the scriptures" (Luke 24:27). The Liturgy provides the temporary shelter and the Holy Eucharist is food for the journey through the 'forest' of understanding the sacred writings.
Isn't it funny how, when pseudo scholars started chpping up the gospels to find the supposed "authentic historical Jesus" what they ended up with was a Jesus that looked a lot like them..... Each one had a different Jesus to the other one.
Hello Dr Scott....I hope you could be on clubhouse and talk more to us.
Amen..
Nice
🌿GOSPEL of LOVE💜..Dr Hanh is right, Greek philosophers began this, Jesus simply repeating their words standing on shoulders of Giants :"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
~Aristotle 330BC
"One word Frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love."
~ Sophocles 490BC
"Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other"
~ Euripides 480BC
"He whom love touches walks not in darkness"
~Plato 400BC

Would you also apply these criticisms of this secular academic approach to, say, the quran?
The secular academics are scared of Mohamedans so they don't tell you what they think of the Quran. So, no? Because they're not comparable?
Dr. Scott Hahn seems to get better with age.
its like studying Shakespeare in a lit class
Hello sir, how are you? I want to ask a question if I may...the question i'm gonna ask is is God the Father the one who made the 10 commandments and if he is the same God of the other prophets in the old testament? it's kinda confusing me because Jesus, in response to the Pharisees’ question “Who do you think you are?” said, “‘Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.’ ‘You are not yet fifty years old,’ the Jews said to him, ‘and you have seen Abraham!’ ‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ and we also know that when Moses meets with God in mount sinah,Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, `What is his name?' ... God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: `I AM has sent me to you. '
Yes, God the Father is the one who gave the 10 commandments the same God of the other prophets in the old testament. Is your confusion that Jesus refers to himself as I AM?
The Bible is meant to be a guide on how to live our lives not to be used by people to tell other people how to live their lives our relationship with God is personal if we live our lives according to his will others will automatically be attracted to you very few actually practice what they preach that's why we love and respect our Blessed Mother and the truth Saints of the church
20:26 vegetables have capacity for rationality?
I think he just spoke a bit unclearly. He was going up through the different levels of life. Plants grow, animals are sensitive, and humans are rational.
I’ve had more rational interactions with vegetables than with some people, tbh
Here's something I always wondered: "why do priests molest children?"
I've read that hundreds of priests have been convicted of child molestation.
Why hasn't the Church addressed this serious and systemic crime?
it did
if you have any more questions feel free to ask
@@alonsoACR Are you sure? Please elaborate if you can.
5-21-23 If We are Believers and have Faith, The Bible is our Direct Connection to God. Inspired and Written by Holy Men who were filled by His Holy Spirit. If You are examining the Bible through a Materialistic Hermineutic, You'll never be able to understand it. Sad. Blessings to All, John O. 💒💐💖
The blind leading the blind!!
A living book
Good discussion, but it is the word of God which can be best defended by God Himself. As the Bible, to those who believe the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. With God on our side it becomes the majority, even if the rest of the world chooses the other side. So scripture's prominence in our society, particularly Western society has declined, but it hasn't diminished the power of the gospel and those who believe in the Apostolic gospel as originally preached in the 1st century go preach about Christ in and out of season and you will see people get saved.
Was Maritain a good guy praised by Benedict XVI and Paul VI?!?! He was a modernist, right?
I wonder what Dr Hahn thinks about the state of the church right now. Especially after AB Vigganos comments.
He'll be silent or give a lukewarm answer - but you can be sure he won't defend Pope Francis - he would have done it by now.
He had an interview recently with Matt Fradd and sort of went into such topics. It’s not that Dr. Hahn doesn’t touch controversies, he just doesn’t typically wade into polemics or rant publicly
@@jefffinkbonner9551 do u have a link to which PWA episode?
The Lord, incarnate, did not walk about beating people over the head with scripture. Nor should we.
Don't worry guys, the Sons of God know the Bible is Our Father's Word, and is still Truth, today, yesterday and forever!
No need for alarm!
We will preach it no matter if they believe or not!
Hallelujah!!!
Rom 3:3 "For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Rom 3:4 God forbid: Yea, let God be true but every man a liar!"
God's Word is all the Truth we need!
Thank you. ☺️
THIS. I’ve observed and been discomfited by this de-mystification of reality, if you will, for years now. (I feel it extra strongly in the biblical commentary of Jordan Peterson, of whom I am normally a fan.) I’ve just never been put it into words.
The Bible is meant to be a teaching aid, not the centre of everything.
@weaponofchoice-tc7qs They had the Church, and the Church provided us the Bible. The Bible is, in fact, part of the Church itself.
By leaning to the Church of Jesus Christ is how we end up leaning on the Bible.
I hope this made sense.
Word.
What a lot of blather! Many Catholics would appreciate it if Hahn and Curtis Mitch would finish their Old Testament books in his Ignatius Bible Study Series, instead of wasting his time on books like this.
Books make money
The scribes always think they get it and no one else does, eh? Yes, I'm Canadian.
Shalom,
I am amused by so-called online experts who ignore Titus 3:9 KJV by debating ad nauseam. Christ the Expert told us about a Helper-comforter which experts conveniently dismiss.
Bible and Verse >> 2 Peter 1:20 KJV (Knowing this first, that No prophecy of the scripture is of any Private interpretation.)
Dr. Hahn looks like he got a nice tan
Hahahaha
I was just looking to see if anyone had posted this before I did.
Saving the bible from experts is necessary. There are thousands more people who fancy themselves bible experts than there are actual bible experts - and the irony is the people who actually are bible experts, will not contradict the Catholic church on theology or doctrine. It's the same with the U.S. Constitution. Salvation, whether political or eternal, does not come from experts or intellectuals. It comes from common sense in the first instance and from Jesus Christ in the latter. I would never trust any intellectual over Jesus Christ, and I would far more trust the first 1,000 names in the Minneapolis phonebook to govern the nation than the first 1,000 names of the tenured professors and faculty at Harvard or Yale university.
Very interesting. Contemplating buying the book. And Steubenville is now the bastion of all wokeness, you cannot ask for more. Apage Satanas 👹🔥👹
I never had a problem like some of you. I read the Word of God KJV with no problem. Like it was meant to be. Beware of false teachers.
The KJV is a protestant Bible and a very poor translation even by the standards of protestant Bibles.I would go as far as to say it is the second worst translation available [after the NWT, which is the JW Bible].
King James was a politician. Why would anyone read his version of the Bible. Like reading the Barack Obama version.
KJV wasn't even around till about 1560

I don't understand your question? The Quran is false, so the more anyone reads it, the more people will realize it's false. This is pretty obvious.
@@VACatholic My point is that the same is true for the Bible
@@thescoobymike Right, you're going to have to actually come with an argument. Your assertion that the Quran and the Bible have the same historical and truth value is something you have to prove, not something you can assert and just expect people to believe.

You're just going to ignore the people who wrote it? If a chef said "I'll make this meal by Cookbook Alone!" he'd be a laughingstock. You'd need a kitchen with oven and supplies, all the ingredients and all the training and know-how. In principle the Church Christ established is no different. Our faith rests equally on the three-pronged foundations of Holy Tradition, Sacred Scripture, and the divinely instituted teaching authority, the Magisterium. Any one of those three being relied upon in isolation from the other two is incomplete and leads to distortions and instability, with the result being that true worship pleasing to God would no longer be in effect, just like a meal no longer able to be properly cooked.

Scott Haun,
After the early church fell away to catholicism in 533,
The Bible became a closed Book for a thousand years!
The catholic dark ages began!
Schools were outlawed!
Even if people had a Bible, they couldn’t read it.
The catholic church closed it in a dead language.
It was housed in a dead language “Latin” that the people did not understand
The people were illiterate!
For a thousand years, they could not read and write.
The 10th chapter of REVELATION brings us to the reformation under Martin Luther.
And the work of the reformation was the restoration and the return of the Book to be opened!
And the angel l saw, “verse five” standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand into heaven,
6 And sware by HIM who liveth for ever and ever, who created the heavens, and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:
In other words, we’re gonna give this Bible back to the people, we’re not gonna wait any longer, we’ve been waiting a thousand years.
Catholic is synonymous with the god of this world, and
synonymous with MATTHEW 7:13
The God of the early church, which is Christ Himself and His kingdom, “the church of Christ” destroyed the Roman Empire.
And it will destroy all civil government and all churches that Christ did not build “at the end of time.”
St. Ignatius 50-107 AD. wrote : where there is Jesus Christ be , there is the catholic Church the first time the words Catholic Church where written , St. Ignatius and ST. Polycarp where taught by John the Apostle and they knew Peter , James and the other Apostles ,there were Bishops the Mass and Eucharist in the first century , no bible for 400 years , tradition the only way, sounds Catholic me , Yes .
the Church had to chain the bible down because it would be stolen and it would take many months to rewrite it , also many could not read , and you mention the bible was closed for a thousand years makes no since .
@@ronaldeglewski3073 ,
Look it up!
Ignorant statement. Modern Italians, Spanish and French can understand each other and the Latin from which they derive. Church also preserved writing, books, and created the universities. Luther was a fornicator who rebelled to indulge in his passions. The German princes forcibly converted their subjects so they could loot church property.
Whilst I love CA, they should heed their own advise, treat Scripture for what it is and drop Evolutionism, accept the Geocentric worldview and provide a better critique Capitalism.
Hard to argue.
Hi! Although everyone can have their own worldview, those are not in accordance with the church. Evolutionism and Geocentrism are not contrary nor necessary.
Hope this can help, praised be JC!
@@galileovenica6449 Evolutionism is unscientific and the reason is because it makes illogical leaps thru faulty philosophy. Read the first chapter of Logos Rising. Geocentrism is the biblical worldview supported by scripture obviously and virtually all the church fathers. Watch them doco ‘The Principle’
If you take a fundamentalist approach, remember that you’ll have a lot of explanations to do in Genesis (especially). One of the many is, “How was it possible that God created the light on the first day and yet, another light was created on the fourth day?” Or the fact that there were only Cain, Adam, and Eve (after Cain killed Abel) on earth, and yet, Cain apparently went to make a family of his own.
@@friendly_user1233 the first/fourth day light thing is not a problem, and requires equivocation to claim it is. Who exists on the earth is similarly not problematic, if one assumes that the Bible doesn't tell you literally everything that's happening, which is obviously true.
So realistically, you have more to do to explain how evolution makes any sense with respect to God creating Adam from the dust of the earth and breath, and Eve from the rib of Adam. Both of those things are directly in contravention of "evolution", depending on how you define that motte and bailey term.
So, not exactly, imo.
The only thing that is injurious about the Bible is that it exposes Catholic beliefs as being lies. For instance, Jesus said: "If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples." (John 8:31) Does the Catholic Church obey the teachings of Jesus? If it does, where in the Bible did Jesus teach that...
1. it's okay to worship inanimate objects like statues and relics? NOWHERE!!
2. Mary was immaculately conceived? NOWHERE!!
3.the Godhead is triune and that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are co-equal in glory and co-eternal in majesty? NOWHERE!!
4. meat should not be eaten on Fridays and during Lent? NOWHERE!!
5. unmarried priests are bound to celibacy? NOWHERE!!
6. Mary can be worshiped? NOWHERE!!
So, it doesn't take an expert to determine that the Catholic Church is corrupt? Just compare Jesus' teachings with the apostate beliefs of the Church.
I love the bible verse you are quoting. I use it every day to question my own faith and my behaviour (which should be one and consistent, but I am a sinner). Your argument, though, fails because you base it in Sola Scriptura -implying that only what is in the Bible is what Jesus said and did. Which John himself states is not all contained in the Bible (John 20:30). I would respectfully recommend you read a book by Dr. Hahn, since you are watching one of his videos. The one I have dear to my heart is "Rome Sweet Home". He and his blessed wife address your questions there much better than I could. God bless you, brother, in your journey of faith.
@@bonohyogurt "Your argument, though, fails because you base it in Sola Scriptura -implying that only what is in the Bible is what Jesus said and did. Which John himself states is not all contained in the Bible (John 20:30). I would respectfully recommend you read a book by Dr. Hahn. He and his blessed wife address your questions."
If you read this guys video, then, answer one question for me. Where did he say in his book that Jesus taught _in Scripture_ that the Godhead is triune and that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are co-equal in glory and co-eternal in majesty?
One other thing. According to John 20:30, not everything Jesus said and did are recorded in Scripture. So, tell me, are we judged on what is _in_ the Bible or on what is not in Scripture? And another thing, do you believe that what Jesus taught _in_ Scripture would be contradicted by what is not recorded? John 21:25 tells you why not all of what Jesus said and did was made a matter of record. As it says: "There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written."
As you can see, the God of the Bible, whose name is Yahweh [or Jehovah] has given us enough of Jesus' teachings to know what what Jesus meant when he said: "If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; [and] you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31, 32) Those teachings are found in the Bible. If you believe his teachings are found somewhere else, tell me where.
Sola Scriptura is not Biblical, therefore the foundation of your interpretation of the faith and Bible is not accurate or flat out false. Unless you fully understand Catholic teaching, don’t knock it.
@@littleone1656 Let's see. You mention sola scriptura and Catholic teachings. Now, tell me, where in the Bible or anywhere else did the Catholic Church get the belief that worshiping inanimate objects like statues and relics is acceptable?
Ever since the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition was introduced by a devil possessed man, heretics like Calvin, Smyth, Zwingli, started to hijack the Bible and interpret it on their wild imagination even adding their wishful thinking on and on and on and on by now after five hundred years more fifty thousand heretic group are operating in the same way. Perhaps the gates of hell is helping them now, many of them are dying rapidly
On it's own terms Not Catholic.let the Bible speak for itself neither Catholic Or protestant.scripture alone is the Greatest challenge to Roman Catholic doctrine your business biblical studies Di mieworw harm than good the bible does not support Roman Catholic doctrine no matter how you present it
