- Scott Hahn's personal library has to be one of the biggest, most impressive libraries in existence. I didn't know what to expect, but, just, wow.

#ScottHahn #Library #Christianity
Welp. Scott's found out how many people have viewed this video. He thinks you should all be reading instead.
I just want that library to be my new home. I just want to live there
Scott, although being slightly overweight, is a very intelligent and passionate man
Tell Scott I'll get right on it if he'll invite me to check out a few books ;)
@David Ortiz everything
@@aggelos8256 Haha, bro what?
Now we know what happened to the Library of Alexandria.
Lol
Funny
Hahahhahaha ... this is a good one. Dead laughing
And the House of Wisdom of Baghdad. Don't forget that.
Hahah
When he mentioned in Rome Sweet Home that he spent hours everyday reading books on Catholic theology before converting, I can see he definitely was not kidding...
Yes! Love that book. This is the kind of office he was hunkered down in for hours every night trying to convince himself to stay Protestant but learning more and more until finally coming home to the Catholic church ⛪🙌💛
@@tony1685 that's your opinion! I'm not looking to debate it. Scott chose Catholicism and he's happy in the one true church🙌
@@tony1685 If you don’t have anything nice to say, then please don’t say anything at all.
@@tony1685 What Protestants don't read books outside the Bible? Also if he Bible was perfectly clear why are there hundreds of Protestant Denominations who all say they are "Bible Alone" but come to wildly different conclusions? Why do we need teachers to convey the faith.
St. Peter in this letter warned about the results of reading Scripture sithout the guidance of the Church when he said "There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures" (2 Peter 3:16)
That's why we see that we need an interpretive body and not our own personal opinions so we should humble ourselves like Philip does to the Ethiopian in the Book of Acts:
"So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “*How can I, unless some one guides me* ?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him" (Acts 8:30-31)
I converted reading the New Testament and you figured out the big gap between the apostolic Church and the church of Rome
Feels like two grandchildren visiting grandpa's candystore. Love it.
I was kind of in a bad mood, but seeing Scott and his library is just uplifting.
Me this very second
Same two years later
The power of a library, strangely therapeutic…😊
I like how you guys are speaking in hushed tones even though you’re in a personal library and you’re the only ones in there.
In between religious debates and people just picking up their jaws from the floor... This is the best comment.
shhhh the books are sleeping
I think Scott will be Patron Saint of Librarians!
yes!
I think St. Jerome and St. Thomas Aquinas are also patron Saints for Librarians if I’m not mistaken lol
Estoy de acuerdo
@David Ortiz yea I knew that 👍🏼👍🏼
It St. Jerome the patron saint of librarians
I love how it’s not even the first minute and Matt is alr being awkward in the background 😂😂
As a person who loves books- this looks like a dream come true.
same here!
Exactly!
I could spend days in there just pouring over all those books 😆
I find myself listening to rhe podcast, "Behind The Bookshelves ". I ❤️ books.
Book lovers paradise.
This is bigger than my local library
Mine too!
This is several times bigger than my local library.
I had that exact same thought
As a protestant, it's hard for me to see a man's library of that size, and think "Nah, that guy is wrong - I'm right"....
It's very simple, head knowledge does not equate to much in the sight of God. All the wisdom of earth compares to nothing. Catholicism preaches a false works based gospel. Jesus said "it is finished" yet catholics think it's not finished and that their sins need to be paid for in purgatory. It isn't finished, right.. They preach a false gospel that can't save and fully atone for someone. Don't let books fool you. This man prays to saints. We pray to God. Or at least, I hope you do.
Hi there! Although I agree that reading and researching doesn't mean you know everything or are always correct Scott Hahn was a protestant and wanted nothing to do with Catholicism but his story is a testament to intellect and openness to the Holy Spirit. Also as a Catholic I want to clarify that, just as we ask people on earth to pray for us we ask those who have gone before us to lift our prayers to God. God Bless💛
As a Catholic that's kind of how I feel about Mike Licona. Knowing as much as he knows about the early Church, how isn't he Catholic?
Now that’s funny!
@@TheHeartOfTheHour1 What do you mean "their sins need to be paid for in Hell" ? I'm not Catholic but I'm pretty sure no Catholic believes that. Also as Allison said above, there is nothing wrong with praying to Saints, this in no way negates Jesus being the one mediator being God and man. We ask our fellow Christians to pray for us all the time so why not ask those who are in heaven? They are as much a part of the Body of Christ as we are. Again I'm not Catholic but people really shouldn't misrepresent what they actually believe.
The cool thing about Dr. Hahn is if you asked him where to start he would say the Bible..
@David Ortiz Actually the Bible leads to/testify about Jesus Christ.
And yet he embraced a faith which holds to an ineffectual sacrifice. He should’ve read more of that Bible.
@@theocratickingdom30 I am a Catholic and I will always be. I primarily watch Catholic content but I do follow some Protestant content producers. I enjoy their enthusiasm for sharing Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I believe you all are still brothers in Christ. thanks for your concern for Dr. Hahn’s soul and by extension mine.
@@jiminycricket1593 You can believe Protestants are brothers in Christ, but you do know the CC teaches no salvation outside of it?
@@theocratickingdom30 watch the interview of his conversion on Pints with Aquinas, you'll see his train of thought
Only Catholics know the power of St Anthony when you are looking for something that is lost! Never fails!
Hearing his story made me all giddy, I had to stand and do a happy dance for them XD
That got mee😂😂
That's true, I have experienced lost some important things and through St. Anthony's intercession, I got it back. It happened two times.
I knew in Rome Sweet Home he talked about getting thousands of books, but WOW I still did not expect that. I wonder how many of them he has read...
I love it that it was his wife that first had the "vision" of his library in that garage and even drew out plans.
Cameron if you could just let Matt know that I appreciated his Ghostbusters joke, just so he doesn't feel so bad that no one laughed
Unfortunately, Matts humour is massively undervalued :(
I’ve been to Steubenville University on two Deacon and Priests conferences, in the past of course. I turn 90 on 4April. Say a prayer for me please.
God bless you.
When the internet goes down, Scott has us covered!
I had the joy and blessing of being Dr. Scott Hahn’s student in college in 1992. I had him for Principles of Biblical Studies 1 and 2. What a blessing. For a whole year he was my Bible teacher. The favorite class of my entire life. What a blessing.
I'm blown away! Trying to get my own library started, have only a few hundred books though, not a few million!
I'm at around 200. That one blew me away.
I've got 2 plastic bags full. Lol.
@@michaellawlor5625 Plastic bags can be quite big.
Steve Ray said he has 2000. Books just in his kitchen
When I was seven I wanted to be a librarian so I started a little library in my room, it was made up of one shelf and I had all of my books in there (around 50) and I gave all of my siblings and both of my parents library cards so they could check out my books. I loved it, but I would have loved to have Hahn's library too, haha!
Haha, that's so cute! Something happened to me, my friends and I opened a sort of our own library where I supplied 90% of everything & we had a library card as well & some didn't return 25% of my books!
That's so sweet
@@nenabunena bummer :( I hope you had fun though
I did too! My friends would check them out
Excited for the new Pints with Aquinas studio!!!!
There are more books in Scott Hahn’s house than in my university 😂
St. Anthony has to pray a lot to help find a book there 😂
If this his his library, his home must be huge. But, a large house for a large family.
Its the former Steubenville Bishop's house and the library was originally built as the Bishops indoor pool
@@kylebliss8497 what if there is an infinite causal chain of creators?
Then there is no creator and there is no creation.
@@killianmiller6107 Uncaused things just happen in daily life. No meaning only death. Like a useless machine, you turn it on and a hand pops out of a black box and turns it off.
@Melancholy Soldier yeah it's almost as if they believe in magic or a supernatural consciousness.
Hi. Librarian here. Can I please manage that library?? I'll catalog and process the books accordingly! 😍😍😍
You'd fortunate.
Now, is it fair to guess that... he must have a software to...? well, now I'm not sure. I think a software is needed if he lends books (which I don't think so), and the labeling is already given by the Library of the Congress. Does he need a librarian software?
Literally had the same thought!
So awesome you got to hang out with Scott and Matt! What a library!
That’s massive! Now I understand that it’s also for students and degree candidates. Awesome. God bless Dr. Hahn!
Scott Hahn is an absolute LEGEND. This is incredible. Book collection GOALS. ✨📚📖
I was BLOWN AWAY
You’re a lucky man to experience Scott Hahn’s library! And I always love a good story about the intercession of St. Anthony finding a lost item!
Intercession of st Anthony ?
Really ? come on.. There is only ONE mediator, One God, Only One who hears and answers all omniscient.. JESUS!!!
@@fabiotuan5206 well then why would you ask a friend or family member to pray for you? That sounds kinda silly if you don’t think God will hear their prayers. And what better person to ask for intercession than someone who is already in Heaven with Jesus!
@@fabiotuan5206 I do hope to hear your response. Please educate me on this viewpoint.
@@beckymccarty2451
Well, in regard to praying for someone or them praying for you in Jesus name is scriptural! Jesus is omnipresent/ omniscient. The saints are in heaven yes! They are in the eternal state of euphoria, joy, peace, happiness etc! 1. If they heard our prayers and requests then that would make them omnipresent
Only God is omnipresent/ omniscient. 2. If they heard our prayers, pain, grief, sorrow etc then they wouldn't be experiencing heaven's eternal happiness anymore!
Again, a contradiction to what it states in the scriptures.
@@beckymccarty2451
Having said that catholics are wonderful brothers/ sisters, we just differ in some areas
Looks like he read his way into the Catholic church! Literally...
I thought the first room you were in was the library... and then you walked into the LIBRARY! Wow.
I knew he had a very big library but never seen pictures of it. Thanks
I would spend so much time in this garage, just sitting there gives me warm and cozy wibes
I've just finished reading Rome sweet Home!
I just got it, can´t wait!
@M J LOL. No. Sola Dei.
It’s the energizer bunny library. It just keeps going, and going, and going....
God bless Scott Hahn.
Praise God! 🥳🥳🥳 Welcome home, Cam!💗💗💗
Thank you for sharing this clip with us. It's great to see the three of you! 💗💗💗 I really think Dr. Scott Hanh looks like Padre Pio. 😇😇😇
Prayers and love to you and your families! 💗💗💗😇😇😇
Love that he gives people access to it. The first minute I kept wondering if he was the only one who gets to read in there. If I had a collection like that it would be my greatest joy to allow people access to it. Priests and scholars take sabbatical and study in there? Amazing. That must bring him great happiness having such amazing resource and being able to share it. I'm sure that dramatically increases it's value in his eyes. Memories of scholars and students pouring over research in his private library... I love having a digital library, especially for the efficiency and speed it brings to study but I see the beauty and majesty of having ACTUAL library.
Crazy cool
This is amazing! People dream of fancy cars, jewelry and designer clothing but for me one of my goals in life is to have a dedicated library/study room in my home. One day! Thanks a lot for this tour. Truly remarkable!
Yep this was one of the few reasons for sure why he converted to the RC church… meeting Scott Hahn ❤ welcome home buddy!
Oh boy, you’re in danger of becoming Catholic now! In anticipation of that, I’d like to extend to you a hearty welcome home!
Let's pray for that brother
@@tony1685 It's the infallible church that has the authority to deem someone a heretic, not a fallible individual like you.
@@tony1685 No you cannot be able to do that with your fallible knowledge of the Bible. The church - not you - is the pillar and foundation of truth. To say the church is wrong is to reject God's truth. If you disagree with the church, you are ipso facto wrong. Church members can argue among themselves and others outside the church, but once the church speaks it's final. Why? Again, it's because the Bible says the church is the final arbiter, not you tony my friend.
@@tony1685 You are still missing the point. There is the infallible word of God, and then there is your understanding/interpretation of the word of God. There is no problem with the former, the latter is where our disagreement is. You quote Bible verses and you go ahead to claim that your understanding of these verses is correct and the Catholic Church's understanding is incorrect. But what you've continuously failed to realize is that these verses, read in context with other related verses, actually are in harmony with the Catholic interpretation. And I have read the entire Bible many times over on my own. The Catholic Church completes the whole Bible every 3 year cycle. If you go to Catholic Mass everyday for say 30 years, you would have read the entire Bible 30/3 = 10 times total.
To reiterate, no single letter in the Bible is being questioned here, instead I'm questioning your understanding of the Bible. Do you get the point now? I'm the one to throw Bible verses at you, not the other way round, because I have the infallible Apostolic Church founded by Christ himself to guide me, while you have the fallible Martin Luther "church" or the "church" you founded yourself to guide you.
If we both disagree on what a Gospel verse says, we should go to the church that wrote the Gospels and canonized the Bible. The Bible came from the church. There was no Bible until about 4th century AD. Only one church - the Catholic Church - existed then. Apart from the Christians mentioned in the Bible, you cannot name one Christian from first century AD to 1500 AD who is not Catholic, can you?
Praying...
Im jealous of scott hahn and now I want to live in his library
hi Cameron, you can ask Scott Hahn to take you to Eucharistic Adoration. You will be surprised.
When you turned the corner and went into the bigger section....my jaw dropped🤯 fantastic video❤
not even libraries have that many books
true
This is wonderland.
I'm glad you got to go to Scott Hahn's house. I think it's great you've been in Steubenville, period.
I have had the pleasure to hear Dr. Hahn speak a few times, and even spoken to him after a talk. He always seemed in full presentation mode. Listening to him here, he seems like a humble professor.
As someone else wrote, I remember in "Rome, Sweet Home" he mentioned he got started with books from others. 35 years later; Wow
Thanks for this video.
I hope this video gets millions of views! Thank you for sharing. Awesome content!
That is so awesome! And I'm happy he's sharing those. What a wealth of information.
Cool ✨ Please, feature his library in more details. Love to hear Scott's recommended readings. ❤️🙏
As a person who loves to be in libraries, this is absolutely amazing. I just learned about LC numbers last week and have started cataloguing my own books. Libib looks fine, but I'm considering Evergreen ILS. Apparently, Georgia's library system uses it. I hope to one day have a library just as beautiful as this and maybe be able to visit the LoC.
This is incredible, thanks for this guys
You and Matt are the best duo!! I'm a Catholic and my lovely husband is Evangelical. It's so perfect to see this kind of friendship.
Friendship sure. But when two people go by two different gospels, either one of them goes by a false gospel or both of them go by a false gospel.
The only impossibility is that they both go by the true Gospel...
@@pierreschiffer3180 Or, on the other hand, both are in pursuit of the true Gospel and the virtues learned by spiritual friendship will help bring them to the one true faith, aka, Catholicism.
@@mollym6375 Exactly, Molly. That is not on the other hand, however: that is the exact same. Fact is and remains that at least one of them goes by a false gospel.
We cannot go around that. Paul and John write much about false gospels and even more about the one true one. The first damn; the second saves.
Today's indifferentism towards the Gospel - like every man-made gospel is "good enough" or whatever - is the main cause for the downfall of the Church in our time, I believe.
Has he read every single one of those books?! 😳 thats an amazing library! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for this video - what a treat! I'm a big fan of Scott
Astounding.......I have about three hundred books at home and I feel proud about it. this amazes me. This has more books than any other library I have visited or seen. Brilliant idea and very creatively designed and planned out. God Bless Scott and his family.
My SD is good friends with him and often mentions of some pretty old books he has. Quiet amazing the stuff he has. God bless him! 🙏🏻
You show someone your massive library but they still ask "But who created God?"
Why is it a bad question ? Because God is defined as an eternal being ?
@David Ortiz Well it depends if he exists or not.
@@veganworldorder9394 He necessarily exists because you do-even if nothing else you perceive exists. You know with certainty you exist! Even if you doubt it, you’ve betrayed that thought by your awareness of it! Because you exist, it’s impossible for NOTHING to have caused you, since you can’t get something from nothing. Therefore an Existence before you must exist. For you to ponder anything and have self awareness- that existence which brought you into being has to also be intelligent with a will. It’s also necessary by definition, that Existence is actualized always and everywhere infinitely-unmade & without limit-or else it’s NOT Existence.
@@veganworldorder9394 "It depends if he exists or not".
Yes, you're right but still asking the question "who created God" shows lack of understanding of what theists mean by God.
If a god of a religion was created by something or someone that something or someone would be the "real" and only God.
So there either is or there isn't an ultimate being. If there is (as theists claim) we call it God.
It does not make sense to ask who created something e.g. (god) if that something (god) is not an ultimate being (God).
So the problem with "who created God" is not that it questions the existence of God (which is fine) but it doesn't even understand it.
If there is no ultimate being, we need to accept two logical possibilities:
1) There is an infinite chain of causes which many philosophers showed that there cannot be an ACTUAL regress of causes.
2) Or we violate the principle of casualty but then we accept that for example a rabbit coming into existence in front of us does not need an explanation.
@@garymanz5919 Calm down on the non sequitur bro.
"He necessarily exists because you do" Why ?
For you to ponder anything and have self awarenews- that existence which brought you into being has to also be intelligent with a will." Why ?
"It's also necessary by definition, that Existence is actualized always and everywhere infinitely-unmade and without limit or else it is not existence" why ?
i would be honored if someone calls me a book nerd, if i own a library like this
This is amazing!
Oh my goodness... This is incredible!
I mean I have not started reading.
Scott Hahn; you're an inspiration to me as a seminarian. Thanks
we Love Dr Scott Hahn , what a gift he is to the Christianity,
praying for your conversion too.
love you
I’ve always wondered what it looked like. Thank you!
So cool. I thought my dream of having one wall of books was over the top. Now I’m inspired and thinking I want two walls.
That IS so sooo IMPRESSIVE 🙏❤️
Only one word FANTASTIC!
I think this makes people think twice before starting a debate with Dr.Scott Hahn 😨😥🤩🤩🤩🤩
He promotes marianology
@@fabiotuan5206 Don’t worry he’ll never love Mary more then Jesus. 😳
@@victorialopez3691
He elevates mary to a goddess level
Saints and mary are in heaven.
Only our Lord is omnipresent/ omniscient and worthy of praise!
I always pray to dear St Anthony whenever I lose something and he has never let me down to this day.
I've been dying to see Dr Hahn's library! Finally my time has come🥲
That's so awesome. Wow!
I had a big smile in my face watching the whole video! 😊
Okay this made my DAY!!!! blown away. I will have to ask him at some point if there is one book (probably more than one though) that he wishes were in his library or that he has been on the hunt for, for sometime.
Incredible.
INCREDIBLE.
Seriously amazing.
This was the video that the St. Paul's Center CZcams channel should have put out. This is what gives me a real tour of the library. Thank you!
One word... Wow!
1:32 is that an image of Our Lady Aparecida? Wow, never thought I'd see this outside of Brazil.
this is amazing < just hope i can have my own library one day
I would have 0 idea of where to even start
@Vera I think Scott mentioned that he used the Library of Congress notation. The Dewey decimal system has been gone for ages.
I mean, in terms of where to start reading
my god! this is amazing! I want something like this!!!
As a Catholic libertarian, after Dr. Walter E Williams died recently, Dr. Scott Hahn posted a little memorial about him and how he knew him when Dr. Scott Hahn considered himself a libertarian. I kind of figured that he had some Austrian economics books, and sure enough at the end, you pass by his shelf Mises's biography by Guido Hulsmann and a bunch of other Austrian economics books. I paused the video and took a screenshot. Thank you Cameron.
You're hanging with all the cool catholics now!!!
Wow now that's a man of wisdom God bless Scott Hahn 🙏🏼💯
Awesome. This library is larger than those at several abbeys I have visited.
Scott Hahn is truly brilliant!
Fantastic Scott. I have a couple of your books on my tiny library.
Deacon Moran McMahon
Orleans, Ontario
Amazing!💟🙏✝️
Beautiful.
Very gracious of brother Hahn to offer access to his library. Would be nice to have a scholar / book lover in there to discuss specific books and ask questions about the specific intellectual content of the library, its development, and stories about how different items were procured, his favorites, etc.
Yes, the personal stories behind the buying and collecting are so interesting, aren't they? Private libraries are like a special sort of diary, though Dr Hahn's is probably too big for that by now. I am not a Christian, but I am still impressed and loved the mood in the place. Thanks for filming this. Do you know how many books there in this collection?
My jaw dropped 😮 Impressive...
Feeling inspired.
Amazing
LOL the St Anthony statue in the middle of all that. Not so you can find a book-they seem very well organized. It’s so you can find your way out.
All such books centered to one book! Scripture!!WOW!!
Love love Scott Hahn brilliant man 🙏🏻
OMG...amaaazzzing library
