A Spiritual Aeneid

<p><strong>As Ronald Knox </strong>was preparing to enter the Catholic Church he took with him as a spiritual-reading traveling companion Virgil's <em>Aeneid</em>. The physical journey of Aeneas toward Rome provided a well-polished mirror to the spiritual voyage of Knox to that other perfect Rome-the Eternal City of Christendom. Ingeniously constructed on the Virgillian frame as Evelyn Waugh writes in his Foreword <em>A Spiritual Aeneid</em> is Knox's account of his conversion from the Anglican Church to the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church.</p><p><br></p><p>As moving and memorable today as when it first appeared in 1918 <em>A Spiritual Aeneid</em> endures as the essential introduction to Monsignor Ronald Knox a devoted servant to the One who makes all things new.</p>
