Religious fundamentalism; Christianity; Roman Catholicism, Roman Catholic Church; Christian theology

As arguably the most influential voice in American Catholicism, the vision that Scott Hahn offers in his works, read by millions of Catholics throughout the world, is one of the most formative in American Catholicism. His numerous books and public speaking engagements are shaping the American Catholic Church in a uniquely powerful manner. This work demonstrates that the Catholic vision that Hahn claims to be providing his audience is, in fact, always quite different from the one he actually presents. What he coins as Catholic faithfulness is instead a straightforward and damning Catholic fundamentalism. As this vision is delivered to millions of the faithful who look to Hahn as a trustworthy guide to an authentic life of Catholic faith, American Pope acts as a critical analysis of his work.

Reviews for American Pope

Martin's close analysis of Scott Hahn's writing . . . illuminates how Hahn's notable conversion from conservative Presbyterianism to Catholicism didn't change his fundamentalist approach to faith and life. . . . Hahn's fandom might be excited by his ideas, but Martin shows how the rest of us, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, should be wary of the influence of any theologians who insist that the answers to questions of faith are so easy. --Rebecca Barrett-Fox, Hesston College In this critical study, Sean Martin explores the background and appeal of Scott Hahn, a leading Catholic fundamentalist. American Pope reveals much about a movement and its impact. Martin has written a lively and engaging account of one of the most influential yet understudied figures of modern religious conservatism. --Randall J. Stephens, University of Oslo
