The Creed in Slow Motion [Paperback]

Ronald Knox (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2009

During the WWII bombing of London, Ronald Knox--a priest, radio personality, detective novelist, scholar, and Catholic convert--found himself the chaplain of a girls' school where students were being sheltered. When his existing homilies were exhausted, Knox began to write new ones for his students based on the Apostles' Creed. The homilies were so well-received that they were later published as The Creed in Slow Motion. With resurgent interest in the life and writings of Knox, as well as forthcoming changes to the English translation of the Creed, the new edition of this classic could not be more timely.

This review is from: The Creed in Slow Motion (Paperback)

I who didn't believe in the claims of the catholic church set off to prove her wrong but in my study of both sides I found the evidence to prove otherwise. I hear my brothers and sisters ( protestant who do love the lord) make claim after claim that never hold up if they were to do serious research . Ronald Knox and frank shred and pretty much any catholic author but especially ex Protestants who become catholic have the best materials on all subjects. Ex protestant don't hate their past but fully embrace it in the catholic church and appreciate what they now have because when u find a treasure you cherish it. The only church that wasn't a heretical church in the first century was named catholic by St john the apostles deciple and that is the church Christ died to give us, made up of sinners and saints but the gift of god Robbia children where we on earth can meet the risen lord in the most intimate way by partaking the true manna from heaven (Jesus Christ body blood soul and divinity) ! I wish as a child from. Broken family wishes that the churn be one even as god is one . So many misconceptions out there of the church history which I the biggest problem and setting the record straight.
