Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), University of Dayton, Theology.
This dissertation examines the life and work of Scott Hahn. As one of, if not the most, prominent Catholic voices in the United States today it is critical that his thought be assessed, as it is what millions of Catholic Americans, as well as an incredible number of Catholics throughout the world, look to for a depiction of Catholic faithfulness and tradition. In what follows, I demonstrate that his depiction of Catholic faithfulness, tradition, morality, and doctrine, despite being presented as entirely representative of Church teaching, fails to adequately reflect the varied and nuance nature of Catholic tradition. In this, not only does his approach fail to be representative of the Catholic position, but this dissertation concludes that the position he offers has more in common with Protestant Fundamentalism and should, thus, be recognized as introducing a Catholic Fundamentalism into the American Church and the Catholic world at large.
