David Knight was forty years a priest before he learned that priests don't hear sins in confession. "What you are really revealing is your ideals," he says. "The real you has a different set of ideals, reflecting your heart instead of your lapses. This 'you' abides with God." With these words Father Knight reveals that A Fresh Look at Confession is unlike anything you may have read about the sacrament. He speaks about the heart of confession, its meaning and mystery, and why it is so necessary for authentic followers of Christ. This is deep theology, explained in clear language. But it's also much more: Father Knight's moving, intensely personal account of his own journey as a sinner takes readers beyond theory and into the awe-inspiring reality of our complete redemption in Jesus, who does not just forgive, but who "takes away" the sins of the world. From a varied background as missionary, teacher, pastor, professor, retreat director, and campus minister, Father Knight's ministry has come to focus on making mystical experience commonplace in conscious Christian living.

First published in 1967. The impression is sometimes given that the Atomic Theory was revived in the early years of the nineteenth century by John Dalton, and that continuously from then on it has played a vital role in chemistry. The aim of this study is to revise this over-simplified picture. Atomic explanations seemed to chemists to go beyond the facts, to fail to lend themselves to mathematical expression, and to deny the ultimate simplicity and unity of all matter. Most, therefore, rejected them. Meanwhile, physicists were developing a whole range of atomic theories to explain the physical properties of bodies in terms of very simple atoms or particles. During the last thirty years of the century the position changed, as physicists and chemists came to agree on a common atomic theory. But the last prominent opponents of atomism were not converted until the early years of the twentieth century, by which time studies of radioactivity had made it clear that the billiard-ball Daltonian atom must, in any case, be abandoned.
An entertaining, accessible biography of Humphry Davy, professional scientist, inventor, and poet.
Knight examines why our practice of the Sacrament of Reconciliation has become stagnant. And, by sketching the evolution of the sacrament, he offers us challenging insights from the past to help revitalize our celebration of the sacrament today.
Acclaimed by Kirkus Reviews as "steady fun" by "a darkly amusing fantasist," this imaginative novel envisions the return of King Arthur as a modern-day politician in the new millennium's Camelot: New York City.

In this unconventional history of chemistry, David Knight takes the refreshing view that the science has "its glorious future behind it." Today, chemistry is primarily a service science. In its very long history, though, chemistry has taken on very different roles. It has been the esoteric preoccupation of alchemists, the source of mechanist views of matter, the cornerstone of all other sciences and medicine, an archetype of experimental science, a science of revolutions, a science that imposed order on the material world, and a partner for physics, biology, and technology. Through all these past lives, chemistry has absorbed ideasNfrom artisans, from other sciences, from philosophy, from it...
To help us better understand the Sunday and weekday Gospel readings, David Knight has collected his reflections for the lectionary year B in this handy book. Each brief reflection is based on the Gospel of the particular Sunday or weekday. For each weekday, the author has chosen one line from the day's Gospel and offered one question to stimulate reflection. To help us integrate the Gospel into our daily lives, Knight provides in a section called "Living This Week's Gospel" five suggested responses we can make to the Sunday Gospel each week. He bases his suggestions on five words which summarize our identity as Christians: Christian, disciple, prophet, priest and king. Finally, Knight adds a prayer that we can say each day all week, asking for the grace to live by the values proposed in the Sunday reflection.
