The Transforming Power of God's Holiness in Scripture

by Scott Hahn

Catholics are taught to prize holiness-to admire it in others and to strive for it in their own lives. But we're never quite told what holiness is. In Holy Is His Name: The Transforming Power of God's Holiness in Scripture, Scott Hahn seeks to define the term in order to help us better understand our relationship with holiness.

Tracing the meaning of holiness first through the Old Testament and then the New, Hahn masterfully reveals how God gradually transmits his holiness to his people-through creation, right worship, and more-and ultimately transforms them through the sharing of his divine life.
