It is perhaps impossible for a book by Monsignor Knox to lack competence, clarity, style, insight, sincerity and charm. Theologian, classical and biblican scholar, lecturer and famed English translator of the Old and New Testaments, the author of this work is one of the best known and most versatile and prolific of modern British Catholic intellectuals. This is the first American edition of a collection of conferences in apologetics given to Catholic students at Oxford during his chaplaincy (1926-1938). The conferences are as relevant today for American Catholic students and others as they were in 1942 for Catholic undergraduates at Oxford and a ""wider (though...not much more learned)"" British audience. 24 chapters, each brief, informal, pointed, practical and interesting, comprise this volume. The book deals ""unprofessionally, with some of the hesitations that most naturally occur to...Catholics, when...(they) compare...(their) intellectual commitments with the current thought of the present day"". Sample chapter headings suggest the content:- ""If God Exists"", ""The Unholiness of the Church"", ""Faith Lost and Found"", ""The Unconscious Catholic"", ""The Church and Human Progress"", ""Morality and Convention"", ""Unselfishness in Marriage"".
