Summary: Great covenant-theology introduction
Comment: Dr. Hahn once again has brought new insights into scripture for us all. His book is not hard to read but also allows our minds to dive into covenant theology. His presentation style is straight-forward and scholarly, but also entertaining.
I used the book as an outline to teach a religious education class and it went over great with the kids. To understand the relationship that God has built throughout history with his people and then how it all comes together in Jesus is really a necessity for all Christians to understand. Dr. Hahn has made this both fun and easy to do.

Summary: A must read book for an introduction on God's covenents
Comment: Scott Hahn continues his audio/video tape ministry with an excellent book on the walk through salvation history. This is an easy-to-read book that really helps explain the big-picture of God's promises and love for us. Beginning with Genesis and ending with the New Testement, Dr. Hahn walks his readers through the bible highlighting key coventants with the Old Testement saints and His people and how they build up to the Messiah and His Church. While I had already viewed Dr. Hahn's video tapes on this subject ..."Salvation History", a book is much easier for me to dig into! Buy this book and enjoy Scott's wit and expertise. I wholeheartedly agree with Peter Kreeft in his quote, "I know of no more authentically Biblical, more reliably Catholic, or more exciting theologian in th eworld today than Scott Hahn."

Summary: Excellent thesis although slightly flawed
Comment: Taken from Scott Hahn's doctoral thesis, this is an excellent introduction to the concept of covenants and oaths (Latin 'sacramentum,' Greek 'mysterion') as the foundation of a family relationship with God.
In its original form, as presented here, Hahn identifies six covenants. Because the nature of the oath (from the Hebrew that means 'to swear a seven') begs for a seventh one, he initially thought that it occurred at Judgement Day. That doesn't fit, though. Of necessity, Jesus' covenant at the Triduum MUST be the seventh, as the quintessential moment both in and out of all time, His oath literally THE Oath of Oaths.
Hahn later recognized this and added one through Ezra in his classes at Steubenville. However, the Ezra (return from the Babylonian Captivity) solution is unsatisfying because that supposed covenant failed to expand to include anyone new.
His error is in lumping Creation from Genesis 1 together with God's covenant with Adam & Eve. He does so because he sees the one through Moses as two-fold (established, rejected, re-established) and relates early Genesis in the same way. Yet, Pope John Paul II asserts that Genesis 1 is a covenant unto itself (Theology of the Body).
Once Hahn sees Genesis 1 as a separate covenant from Genesis 3-4, he can account for all seven of them without reliance on Ezra to plug the hole. Perhaps we will see a later revision to this book, as Dr. Hahn is someone of immense humility who searches to understand the truth, and has already altered the thesis presented here in that pursuit.
This is otherwise a consistent, coherent, well explained book that I urge every Catholic to read. It forms an incisive basis for understanding the nature of salvation history from Creation to Jesus.
