The late Right Reverend Monsignor Ronald A. Knox was Catholic Chaplain at Oxford University from 1926 to 1939 and domestic prelate to His Holiness Pope Pius XII in 1936. He was an honorary fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, editor of The Holy Bible: An Abridgement and Rearrangement, as well as translator of both the Old and New Testaments.

"For those who have been wishing they could get their hands on a different kind of Church history, Ronald Knox wrote one. Enthusiasm... [is] remarkably informative and helpful for those classical Protestants who want to reassert the objectivity of the covenant and the importance of the historical church." —Credenda/Agenda"His story is concerned with personalities rather than movements. [I]t should have a wide appeal." —Commonweal"The remarkable feature is the charity [Knox] brings to all his judgments. The chapter on Wesley might have been written by a candid but deeply admiring follower, and that on the Jansenists is a really beautiful piece of work." —Manchester Guardian"Knox brings all his wit and scholarship to bear on the many groups in church history which have from time to time bypassed ecclesiastical authority to claim direct contact with the divine." —Time"One of the great works of the pre-Vatican II Period. An extraordinary stylist and brilliant thinker, Ronald Knox continues to challenge us, even in a wholly new era of the Church's history." —Rev. Richard P. McBrien, author of Catholicism
