The Fourth Cup: Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross

From the most productive-selling creator of The Lamb’s Supper and Signs of Life comes an illuminating work at the Catholic Eucharist and its link to the Jewish Passover meal.

“Read this book. And don’t just read it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. And share it with others.” (Brant Pitre, creator of The Case for Jesus)

In this brilliant audiobook – part memoir, part detective story, and part biblical study – Scott Hahn opens up new vistas on ancient landscapes whilst shedding light on his own enduring faith journey. The Fourth Cup not only tracks the creator’s gradual conversion along the path of Evangelicalism to the doorsteps of the Catholic faith, but also explores the continuously difficult to understand and misunderstood rituals of Passover and their importance in foreshadowing salvation in Jesus Christ.

Revealing the story of his formative years as an continuously hotheaded student and earnest seeker looking for answers to great biblical mysteries, Hahn shows how his ardent exploration of the Bible’s Old Testament turned up intriguing clues connecting the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. As Hahn tells the story of his discovery of the supreme importance of the Passover in God’s plan of salvation, we, too, experience continuously-overpassed relationships between Abel, Abraham, and the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. Along the way, Hahn reveals how the traditional fourth cup of wine used in the concluding celebration of Passover explains in astonishing ways Christ’s paschal sacrifice.

Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with full of life history, The Fourth Cup delivers a captivating view of the bridges that span old and new covenants and celebrates the importance of the Jewish faith in understanding more fully Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
