Disappointed
For the first time EVER, I have been disappointed by a Scott Hahn product/presentation. I have seen Dr. Hahn in person, have several of his CD sets and several of his books and every time I have been enthralled by his work, which is usually insightful, educational and most of all enlightening. This CD set was edited from a college course presentation very early in his days and the person who edited it did a great disservice to Dr. Hahn. I would not recommend. While there are some valid and insightful points in the presentation, because of the majority of the 'info' included (inaudible Q&A sessions, missing topic discussions, disordered info, etc), this CD set was not what I had thought I would get. I am on CD 6 of 7 and for the first time ever, I just turn off the player rather than continue, because listening to the discussion is just so disappointing. Dr. Hahn, when you have a 'real' study on Genesis that is available to the public, I will be the first to buy it. Otherwise, I would not bother with this one.
