What Exactly is a Biblical Covenant? | Scott Hahn w/ Rob Corzine

There's a common misconception that “covenant” is merely an elevated synonym for “contract.” In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn and Rob Corzine discuss how covenant and contract aren’t just different ways of speaking of the same thing; they are different things altogether! Through their insightful conversation, you’ll learn the origin of the confusion between “covenant” and “contract,” the distinctions between the two, and practical tips for applying covenant in your life. St. Irenaeus describes covenant as an “immortal diamond.” This episode will show you why it’s so important for understanding the Christian life.  ___ Want more from the St. Paul Center? 📱Download our NEW APP: https://stpaulcenter.com/app 📖 Get the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for FREE: https://stpaulcenter.com/memberships Grow in your Love & Knowledge of Scripture 👨‍🏫 Join Scott Hahn & Others for a Bible Study: https://stpaulcenter.com/bible-studies 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate For Priests: ✨ Every Priest receives a FREE All-Access Membership: https://stpaulcenter.com/priests ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences ___ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaintPaulCenter/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter #jesuschrist #scotthahn #theroadtoemmaus #stpaulcenter #robcorzine #bible #covenant #contract #catholicchurch #christianity

Typology is a key to understanding God’s saving plan for mankind. But most people wrongly assume that typology merely means finding Old Testament “types” in New Testament “antitypes.” In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Dr. Scott Hahn is joined again by Rob Corzine, the Vice President of Academic Programs at the St. Paul Center. Together they discuss the real definition and use of typology.  In their conversation, discover the relationship between typology and the four senses of Scripture discussed in the Catechism, how Old Testament authors made deliberate use of typology, and how the early Christians employed it to understand not just Scripture, but the Christian life. Typology is at the heart of the St. Paul Center’s approach to understanding Scripture. This episode will reveal to you how this approach is rooted both in the Old and New Testaments.   📱Download our NEW APP ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/app ✨ Get the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for FREE ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/memberships ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ #jesuschrist #scotthahn #stpaulcenter #theroadtoemmaus #robcorzine #typology

Why do we read the Bible? Is it to gain knowledge, or is there something more? In this special episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by his wife Kimberly, Mike Aquilina, and Rob Corzine to discuss the importance of Scripture and understanding it within the life and tradition of the Church, how it leads to the Holy Eucharist, and the necessity to form priests, educators, and lay Catholics in Scripture.

St. Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus has become so paradigmatic that many today speak of their own conversion experience as their “Damascus moment.”   But what happens after that Damascus moment?   In this installment of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn and Rob Corzine address this question as they explore the nature of conversion itself. Shifting the focus from Paul to Peter, they show how the life and legacy of St. Peter reveal conversion not as being a one time experience—but rather something that is ongoing, ever deepening, and often marked by struggle.   Discover how Peter and Paul reveal one of the foundational truths of the Christian life.

In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by Jeremiah Bannister, host of The Paleocrat Diaries and author of the book She Danced Me a Story. Jeremiah shares his wild spiritual and theological journey, giving us an intimate glimpse into his return home into the arms of our heavenly Father. In their conversation, you’ll discover: why Catholicism is the “irresistible conclusion” to the search for the “pure Church,” how a child’s persistent questioning forced him to grapple with the question of God, and the real social, psychological, and emotional cost of becoming Catholic. Through Jeremiah's story, you’ll see how God, in His providence, directs the story of your own life.
