Throughout the first half of the 20th century, both as an Anglican and as a Roman Catholic, Ronald Knox was a well-known part of the English literary landscape. He was a favored preacher for occasions great and small; his articles on a host of topics found a place in the newspapers and monthly literary magazines; his voice was heard often on the BBC. Most significant was the tide of books that flowed from his pen and found a wide readership in Great Britain and the USA. In this book, Milton Walsh, an expert on Knox’s writing, has analyzed and provided ample quotations from the most significant writings of Knox that fall under the genre of apologetics. Knox was a superb apologist because as a priest he was a man of deep faith, and as a writer he had a wonderful way of expressing the Christian truths in an elegant and clear language. Knox was also a man with a grand sense of humor and a keen wit, as well as empathy and kindness, and both his humor and charity are captured well in these writings. Ronald Knox stands alongside G. K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Evelyn Waugh as a great spiritual and literary British writer whose works are once again receiving wide readership and appreciation. My own understanding of the faith and of apologetical techniques was helped immeasurably by Knox's writings. He died some fifty years ago, but his arguments in defense of the faith are as useful today as when they first saw print. - -- Karl Keating It is encouraging to see what appears to be a resurgence of interest in Msgr. Ronald Knox, the gifted Catholic apologist and wit of the early 20th century. Thanks to Milton Walsh, we now have a splendid introduction to Knox and his life and work. One would have to read a whole self of books by and about Knox in order to cover the ground Walsh has so elegantly mapped for us. Recommended - very highly indeed. - -- Thomas Howard Milton Walsh  holds a doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Gregorian University in Rome.
