Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox 1888-1957, English theologian and author. He attended Eton and then Balliol College, Oxford, and in 1910 was ordained as an Anglican minister. Doctrinal preferences, however, led to his Roman Catholic ordination (1919) and appointment as Catholic chaplain at Oxford (1926). While chaplain, Knox wrote several detective novels until appointed to produce a new English Bible (complete ed. 1955). Other works include Spiritual Aeneid (1918), a defense of his adoption of Catholicism, and Enthusiasm (1950), a history of Christian sectarianism.

Knox, Ronald Arbuthnott (1888–1957), Catholic apologist and translator of the Bible. The son of E. A. Knox, he became a RC in 1917. He was chaplain to the RC undergraduates at Oxford from 1926 to 1939, when he resigned to devote himself to translating the Bible. His version was based on the Latin Vulgate and aimed at putting the Bible into timeless English. The NT appeared in 1945, the OT in 1949; the whole Bible in one volume in 1955.
