Christians must, in the words of St. James, “live by the word, not content merely to listen to it.” And St. Peter exhorts: “If anyone asks you to give an account of the hope which you cherish, be ready at all times to answer for it.” The “Slow Motion” collections of Monsignor Ronald Knox take up these admonitions and provide indispensable assistance for the proper fulfillment of these Christian duties.
