The Road to Emmaus with Scott Hahn

St. Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus has become so paradigmatic that many today speak of their own conversion experience as their “Damascus moment.”   But what happens after that Damascus moment?   In this installment of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn and Rob Corzine address this question as they explore the nature of conversion itself. Shifting the focus from Paul to Peter, they show how the life and legacy of St. Peter reveal conversion not as being a one time experience—but rather something that is ongoing, ever deepening, and often marked by struggle.   Discover how Peter and Paul reveal one of the foundational truths of the Christian life.
