0:00.0	Hi, I'm Dr. Scott Hahn, and I want to welcome you to the Road to Amos, a podcast from the St. Paul Center.
0:18.1	And we are here in the St. Paul Center studios with my good friend,
0:22.1	Ken O'Gorick. And we are here to discuss, but also to celebrate the completion of a trilogy of
0:30.0	commentaries on Scripture. Breaking the Bread, a biblical devotional for Catholics.

1:42.5	You've edited books as well.
1:51.5	Many articles. It's hard to know exactly how best to summarize this. But what you have done in integrating or coordinating the, the lectionary readings with catechism teachings, to me, is really what makes this work of ours special.
