About this eBook
Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith.
In The Lamb's Supper, Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message.
Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king.
Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

After struggling to explain to non-Catholic Christian family members about my deep veneration of Mother Mary. Things that I feel and know in my heart as I pray the Holy Rosary are not easily explained by me to protestant Christians. After reading the book, I now have easy references to defend Our Lady, complete with Biblical references. I had built my own reference system in defense but am never good at explaining my inner feelings. Now I have something to go with. Thank you Dr. Hahn

The Perfect Explanations of Revelations 12 because we had a advantage of Sacred Tradition. Protestant interpretation on Revelations always had many different explanations but only one purpose to attack Catholic Church
