The Hidden Stream: Mysteries of the Christian Faith Paperback – September 1, 2002

5.0 out of 5 stars 5

The Hidden Stream is a collection of stimulating informal discussions in which Msgr. Knox re-examines some of the fundamental precepts of the Catholic faith as well as the formidable challenges facing Catholics in the modern world.
Msgr. Knox confronts such highly controversial topics concerning the nature of religion, the average man's doubts about God, the miracles of Christ, salvation outside the Church, sin and forgiveness, the Christian understanding of marriage, and the resurrection of the body. The incisive religious insights and spiritual depth, peppered with mischievous humor, which are the characteristic hallmarks of Msgr. Knox's writing make these discussions sympathetic, vital, and interesting. And throughout the book, Msgr. Knox emphasizes, as an underlying theme, that, like the hidden stream under certain buildings in Oxford, so the Church in her teaching and sacramental life is a secret stream nourishing the world.

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2012
I haven't found anything except one little booklet by Monsignor Ronald Knox that I didn't like. The Hidden Stream, in my opinion is one of his many great books. I really enjoyed (and will keep enjoying, as I read these beauties more than once) the great apologetics done in a most scholarly manner. It harkens back to the clear use of clasical reasoning for proof points, and I find it most encouraging and a consolation from the world of endless banter of propoganda that we usually encounter on religious subjects. I'd advise anyone to try this or others of his books on Catholic/ Christianity and see what you think. This is is one sharp dude. Take a look at his BIO and you'll see what I mean...and lo and behold, he can be a witty little devil when he wants. He is a warm and very understanding priest whom I'll never forget.

The brilliant Knox is very readable. His insights are superb and masterfully presented. Spiritual truths presented clearly. Read particularly his essay on Miracles. You will not regret reading this book.

This is much different than than the Raymond Chandler or Michael Connelly style, but it's a good read and a window into a time long past.

This is a great exposition of the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine over a series of 23 homilies: examples include "the Four Marks of the Church" and "the Christian Notion of Marriage." Msgr. Knox (1888-1957) is the son of an Anglican Bishop, converted to Catholicism, and was the Catholic chaplain for Oxford University. His writing style is both witty and compelling.
