Overview

During the height of World War II, Msgr. Ronald Knox-priest, radio personality, detective novelist, Oxford scholar, and Catholic convert-unexpectedly found himself chaplain to the members of a girls' school who were being sheltered from the Blitz. The homilies he preached to the girls, which were based largely on The Apostles' Creed, became so popular that they were later published as The Creed in Slow Motion. Opening the Creed step-by-step, this rediscovered Knox classic offers a clear, loving, and witty example of British Catholic thought at its best.

About the Author

Monsignor Ronald Knox (1888-1957) was ordained an Anglican priest in 1912 but left this in 1917 when he converted to Catholicism, an event influenced by Knox's friendship with G.K. Chesterton. Throughout his life Knox wrote detective stories, completed a full English translation of the Latin Vulgate of the Bible, and explained his spiritual journey in two privately printed books, Apologia (1917) and A Spiritual Aeneid (1918).
