The unique features of the Knox Bible are:

• Translated from the Latin Vulgate and compared with the Greek and Hebrew texts single handedly by Ronald Knox over nine years.
• Uses timeless English, which is both sacral and reverent.
• Set in a single-column format with verse references placed at the side of the text in order to provide a clear and easily readable Bible.
• The full Bible is now available again for the first time in over 50 years, in an edition from Baronius Press, beautifully bound in leather with gilt edges.
• Included with this new edition is a paperback edition of On Englishing the Bible (5.5" x 8", 72 pages) in which Msgr. Knox describes his account of the ordeal, which manages to be both illuminating and full of his wit. Anyone wishing to know more about Knox's translation - and the problems involved in rendering the sacred Scriptures into the vernacular - will be fascinated to hear from the translator himself how he tackled this mammoth project
