Knox, Ronald A.

Monsignor Ronald Arbuthnott Knox was a well-known and much loved English Catholic priest, theologian and author of crime fiction. His theological writings are quoted to this day and his unconventional translation of the Bible is still in use. His writings gave rise to what is known as Sherlock Holmes studies and he wrote a handful much discussed crime stories and a classic crime novel as well as a whodunit manual and a novel about the future. His death in cancer was a serious blow to the Catholic community and crime writers alike.
