T'oma Men and women who belong to catholic religious orders usually have initials after their names which are abbreviations indicating the name of their particular order. S.J. stands for "Society of Jesus", the formal name of a relgious order of men more commonly known as The Jesuits. I was educated in one on their High Schools in Washington D.C., the same one attended by Patrick Bucahnan and William Bennett. The order was founded in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque soldier who, while recuperating from an battle wound caused by cannon fire while fighting in the Spanish army, underwent a profound conversion experience. Here are a few links related to the order. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14081a.htm http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07639c.htm What is the title of the book you have aquired and the author's name?

Thank you Emmaus. I've acquired a copy of the 1956 book entitled "The Two-Edged Sword" by John L. McKenzie, S.J. I haven't read it through, only skimmed. It has a great index, and seems thorough. Thus far, excellant. Have you read it? T'oma |

T'oma, I do not have it, but my father did when I was growing up. I browsed it back then. I do have his Dictionary of the Bible which came out in 1965 and is still in print from Touchstone, a division of Simon and Schuster. McKenzie was one of the leading Catholic Scriptures scholar in the U.S. in the 40's, 50's and 60's. The Two Edged Sword published in 1956 established his reputation. Another of his books, The Power and the Wisdom, about the New Testament was published some years later. Emmaus Emmaus |

Emmaus, now my wife will say, “There you go again”. :) I’ll make a note of the author’s name for my wallet, and when I check the shelves of my favorite used bookstore (it's huge) … well, like I said, “Here I go again.” I really DO like what I’ve read so far. Much would make for some extra nourishing topics on this website. T’oma |
