RICE COMMISSION DISTRICT 2 DeKALB COUNTY (Paid Political Advertisement) 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. THE HOLY BIBLE, Volume III, the Sapiential Books, translation, sponsored by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, (St. Anthony Guild Press), $5.00. 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. jp|£ Greetings 4 Jj Judge John L.

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 hanced by marginal letters in- (Continued on Page Fifteen) ROY WHITE Raden Road, Sfone Mountain, Ga.
