The Viaduct Murder. Illustrated
A delightful blend of classic detective fiction and British humor, The Viaduct Murder is a brilliant mystery by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox, one of the pioneers of Golden Age crime fiction. This novel departs from his well-known Miles Bredon series, instead featuring a group of amateur sleuths who find themselves entangled in a baffling case. When the body of a retired judge is discovered beneath a viaduct in the English countryside, what at first appears to be an unfortunate accident soon raises suspicions of foul play. A clergyman, a journalist, a retired army officer, and a golf enthusiast—each with a sharp mind and a unique perspective—team up to investigate the case, determined to uncove...

The Gospel in Slow Motion
In his own variation on C. S. Lewis's trilemma of "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord," Ronald Knox writes: "I do not believe that, human nature being what it is, the immediate impression made by the preaching of the Gospel could have been so profound, if its first missionaries had only told to the world the story of a Man, clearly not mad, clearly not an Impostor, who was nevertheless prepared to accept the worship due to a God." The Gospel possesses a unique power to persuade its hearers to believe in Jesus Christ, to accept the friendship of the Son of Man whose Word is Truth itself. Differing from the continuous commentary-style of his other two Slow Motion books, Knox communicates the power of the Gospel in sermons brimming with his customary freshness, ingenuity, and anecdotal brilliance. Culled by Knox himself from the extensive archives of his preaching over the years, the twenty-three sermons in The Gospel in Slow Motion offer a ready-bound retreat for religious and laity alike, for they are "Gospel" sermons in the fullest sense: their aim is the making of good Christians.
A Spiritual Aeneid
In this book, Msgr. Ronald Knox recounts the events and circumstances leading to his reception into the Catholic Church. This is the story of a man who awakes from his undisturbed and unreflective religion, his attempt to rationally reconstruct and justify his comfortable past and his final arrival at truth."On the other hand, it is true that there is a sense in which Catholicism can be taught, and ordinary Anglicanism cannot. For Anglicanism, generally speaking, is not a system of religion nor a body of truth, but a feeling, a tradition, its roots intertwined with associations of national history and of family life; you do not learn it, you grow into it; you do not forget it, you grow out of it." A clear, honest reflection on Knox's struggle to understand the history of his church (Church of England) and its connection to the Apostolic tradition. He finally concludes he can do no other than leave the Anglican church for the Catholic church. But it is the journey of his mind and heart driven by his brilliant, logical mind, that provides the drama and the pain that finally leads to "paying the price of unity".
When Scotland Was Jewish
The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
