Author name: Ronald A. Knox
Ronald Arbuthnott Knox (1888—1957) was an English Catholic priest, theologian, author, and radio broadcaster. He completed the "Knox Bible," a new English translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible used in Catholic services during the 1960s and 1970s, and also wrote numerous works on apologetics and theology. He wrote several detective novels, and played a crucial role in the development of Sherlock Holmes scholarship. In 1926, Knox hosted a satirical BBC radio broadcast titled "Broadcasting from the Barricades," which caused unintended panic due to its realistic portrayal of fictional riots in London. In 1951, he was appointed protonotary apostolic by Pope Pius XII, granting him the title of monsignor.
