In the days when C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien trod the greens of Oxford, those lectures were provided by the wise and witty Msgr. Ronald Knox, himself a convert to the Catholic Church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErudite and profound, Monsignor Knox not only helped keep the Catholic students aflame with faith, but also led many lapsed Catholics and non-Catholics into the Church. His writings continue to provide inspiration and instruction to all those confronting questions of life and faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the best talks by Knox are gathered in this volume. \"If God Exists\", \"The Unholiness of the Church\" and \"Unselfishness in Marriage\" are but a few of the topics he deftly discussed in a manner as entertaining and pertinent now as when they were first given at Oxford in the 1920s and 30s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the first half of the 20th century, both as an Anglican and as a Roman Catholic, \u003cb\u003eRonald Knox\u003c\/b\u003e was a well-known part of the English literary landscape.
