Dr. Hahn is also the bestselling author of numerous books including The Lamb's Supper , Reasons to Believe , and Rome Sweet Home (co-authored with his wife, Kimberly). Some of his newest books are Many Are Called , Hope for Hard Times , The Catholic Bible Dictionary , and Signs of Life . Scott received his Bachelor of Arts degree with a triple-major in Theology, Philosophy and Economics from Grove City College, Pennsylvania, in 1979, his Masters of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 1982, and his Ph.D. in Biblical Theology from Marquette University in 1995. Scott has ten years of youth and pastoral ministry experience in Protestant congregations (in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, Kansas and Virginia) and is a former Professor of Theology at Chesapeake Theological Seminary. He was ordained in 1982 at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Fairfax, Virginia. He entered the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil, 1986.
