Autor

Ronald Arbuthnott Knox was a prominent Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and author known for his detective stories and work as a broadcaster for BBC Radio. Born into a distinguished family, Knox attended Eton College and won multiple scholarships to Balliol College, Oxford. Initially ordained as an Anglican priest in 1912, he later converted to Catholicism in 1917 and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1918. After his conversion, Knox became a notable figure in the Catholic intellectual community, writing books of essays, novels, and religious works. One of his most significant contributions was his re-translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible into English, a project he began in 1936, using Hebrew and Greek sources to provide a more accurate translation. Knox's work in theology, alongside his detective fiction, showcased his ability to blend intellectual rigor with creative storytelling. His detective novels, often marked by wit and clever plotting, earned him recognition in the genre. Knox passed away on 24 August 1957. His funeral was held at Westminster Cathedral, with a requiem mass celebrated by Bishop Craven and a eulogy delivered by Father Martin D'Arcy. He was buried in the churchyard of St Andrew's Church, Mells.
