<p>Ronald Knox This book is a collection of stimulating, informal discussions in which Msgr. Knox re-examines some of the fundamental precepts of the Catholic faith as well as the formidable challenges facing Catholics today. Writing with his usual effortless grace and sparkling wit, Knox confronts such controversial topics as what is religion, man's doubts about God, the miracles of Christ, salvation outside the Church, sin and forgiveness, the Christian notion of marriage, and the resurrection of the body. The incisive religious insight and spiritual depth peppered with mischievous humor are the characteristic hallmarks of Knox's writing. He emphasizes that the Church in her teaching and sacramental life is a secret stream nourishing the world. The Hidden Stream is a lucid refresher course in the teachings of the Church for informed Catholics, a pleasant “must” for uninformed ones, and a bulwark for all concerned with explaining the faith to others. “I can think of no man of this century who enjoyed as did Ronald Knox such a mastery of the English language in all its varieties." —Evelyn Waugh “Few can match Msgr. Knox's pungent blend of humor and learning, his shrewd understanding of modern life and the vagaries of human nature.” —New York Times Book Review Table of Preface What Is Religion?

An out-of-print masterpiece of detective fiction: One of the seminal works of the genre, The Viaduct Murder was first published in 1925. It was selected by Howard Haycraft to be included in the ultimate mystery list: The Haycraft-Queen Definitive Library of Detective-Crime-Mystery Fiction, Two Centuries of Cornerstones 1748-1948. Marryatt (the clergyman), Carmichael (the retired don), Reeves (the former member of the military intelligence), and Gordon (the vacationing golfer) are playing golf in Paston Oatvile when Reeves slices his drive from the third tee. In searching for the ball they come upon the dead body of Mr. Brotherhood below the railroad viaduct. When they find his hat 15 yards away from the body they suspect “there’s been dirty work.” The foursome set out to solve his murder. Father Knox has provided us with a witty, clever, and thoroughly delightful, classic British mystery story.

Meditations on the Psalms (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Meditations on the PsalmsNot as a commentary, with its treatment of each successive verse, these meditations consider each Psalm as containing one leading idea, thus forming a unity in itself. Seeing the numerous subjects each Psalm contains, the recognition of this leading idea or formative principle must require deep reflection and close logical reasoning to trace its development to the exclusion of all else.We are glad to notice in the present volume the same firmness of conviction and robust faith that appear in the authors apologetic works, and that his meditations, with their three points, tend to form solid virtues rather than sentimental affections. He faces squarely objections as they occur. For instance to the permission of evil, of pain and sorrow, the most popular argument against the existence of a good God, he replies - that evil is permitted to teach us detachment that earth is not our home - and to prepare us for eternity.Bossuet gives two guides for understanding the Psalms. First, God as First Cause. The Psalmist seems to see him not by inference or argument but immediately, within the veil.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
