IN SOFT GARMENTS, by Ron
ald Knox, (Sheed & Ward), $3.00.
(Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor)
This is a collection of confer
ences given by Monsignor Knox
during the years 1926-38 to un
dergraduates when he was chap
lain at Oxford. When the Holy
See gave permission for Cath
olics to matriculate at Oxford
and Cambridge, the stipulation
was made that lectures be pro
vided for them “to safeguard
their faith in an uncongenial
atmosphere.” Something of the
kind is needed by American Cath
olic students attending secular
education institutions and while
these lectures were specifically
designed for British students more
than twenty years ago, they deal
with the essentials of the Faith
and wll have value for any
Catholic reader at any time.
Since the American Catholic stu
dent has always been able to at
tend non-Catholic universities,
the uncongeniality of the atmo
sphere in such places may be less
than apparent to him and propor
tionately more dangerous. The
Newman Club, being generally
geared more to social than intel
lectual considerations, does not
serve the purpose as well as such
lectures as these.
As Monsignor Knox puts it: “It
is the nature of the undergraduate
to discuss all things in heaven and
earth with the utmost seriousness
and sometimes with very slight
information.” The problem of the
student attending a secular uni
versity after a predominantly
Catholic education is different
from that of the student who has
gone to public schools all his life.
The former is apt to be long on
information and argument but
short on perception and tact; the
latter wffl have learned how not
to offend the non-Christian sen
sibility but may not be well
enough informed on the particu
lars of his Faith to maintain his
own position with the necessary
with a laudable absence of un
ction.

American Catholic Scripture
scholars, members of the Cath
olic Biblical Association of Amer
ica, have been working for some
years on the Confraternity Ver
sion of the Bible, a translation
free of the archaic expressions
found in the Challoner-Douay
Rheims Bible and more intellig
ible to modern readers.

Volume I, including the first
eight historical books of the Old
Testament, was published in
1952. The second volume, con
sisting of the other historical
books, is not yet ready. Volume
III, which was published recent
ly, contains some of the most
beautiful and poetical literature
of all time, the sapiential books,
or “wisdom literature” of the
Jews: the books of Job, Psalms,
Priverbs, Ecclesastes, the Can
ticle of Canticles, Wisdom and
Sirach (formerly called Ecclesi-
asticus). Volume IV, which is yet
to come, will contain the prop
hetical books.
The poetical books in the pres
ent volume are paragraphed and
printed in a readable type in the
center of the page, making for
easier reading than the old fine
type and double-columned page.
This book is easy to hold in the
hands and its pages are easy on
the eyes. There are interesting
paragraph headings and an abun
dance of brief explanatory foot
notes, as well as a section in the
back explaining, for the benefit
of other scholars, the textual cor
rections made in this translation,
according to the science of textual
criticism.
The exquisite Canticle of Can
ticles, a nuptial song traditionally
interpreted as symbolic of Christ’s
union with His Church, is regard
ed as a lyric dialogue and en
