Reader Reviews:

Flawed Understanding (0/0 people found this helpful)

This book has some interesting ideas in relation to the Old Testament, although many can old be held speculatively. The last two chapters, however, indicate to me a significantly flawed understanding and I wouldn't recommend for anyone to buy this book.

This book is great! (7/8 people found this helpful)

This is a great book! It is very readable and helps people understand so much of the Bible! The chapter on the Eucharist is great as well! It helps in defending the belief in the Real Presence (though this book is not an apologetics book). I do, however, want to correct a statement written by a reviewer on April 9, in which that reviewer said Hahn thought that the idea of the covenant was a completely Catholic one. I don't know how the reveiwer got that idea. This book does not say or imply this at all. In fact, read another of Hahn's books, Rome Sweet Home, on page 27. There he describes how while a Protestant he saw a Catholic book on covenant theology. At that time he thought "I looked at it and thought, Liturgical Press? This guy's a Catholic! A Papist! What was he doing hijacking the Protestant notion of the covenant?" Of course, Hahn wouldn't write this if he believe the covenant was just a Catholic idea. Sorry about so much time on this; I just think it's an important statement to correct. Anyway, read A Father Who Keeps His Promises. It is a great book for any Christian to read.

Good Introductory book - (0/7 people found this helpful)

With the exception of Dr. Hahn's premise that the RCC is the holder of the new covenant, this book is an exceptional introduction to Covenant theology. He disappointingly indicates that the concept is entirely catholic, which those familiar with the topic would realize has been a theology in non-catholic circles for years. Andrew Johnson's "The Two Covenants" and Mont Smith's "What the Bible Says about Covenant" being basic texts in Bible Colleges and Seminaries for years.

Thirst for more!! (4/4 people found this helpful)

Once you begin reading Dr. Hahn's book "A Father Who Keeps His Promises..", you will want to read, watch, or listen to anything you can get your hands on from Dr. Hahn! We are very blessed in todays world to have Dr. Hahn and his incredible knowledge of the truth. Dr. Hahn can explain Catholic fundamental beliefs in a language understood by all. For instance, The chapter "It is Finished" is a remarkable piece of work that leaves no doubt in your mind regarding the True Presence of the Eucharist! I only thirst for more!!!

A story of love between God and man. (4/5 people found this helpful)

Scott Hahn does a great job in showing the integrity of God and how God works with his people through covenants of love and not legal acts. Hahn teaches the mystery of the Eucharist in a manner I've never seen before and how importantant it is for us to center our lives around it. I highly recommend Scott Hanh's book to everyone and am very grateful that Scott Hahn is generous with his knowledge of scripture. He truly fulfills the scripture phrase, "he who is given much, much will be asked".
