Actually I would suggest a more complete collection of Ronald Knox's works, but if there was ever any particular one that I should like to see is his free translation of the Latin Vulgate.
His writings appear to have all the hallmarks of greatness like Chesterton (I'd like to see his "Saint Francis of Assisi book) and CS Lewis and would be just as viable as John Henry Newman's complete works.
He seems like an interesting literary critic also. How much of his influence helped shape Dorthy L. Sayers? I'd like to see her published essays to Charles William. (I'd like to see his works also). Of course, J.R.R. Tolkien, although he may not have much by way of theology, seems to have a huge influence with books written about the Lord of the Rings and Middle Earth.
Just some thoughts about a few other people whom I think have a great influence.
Seconded.... His translation is so wonderful. Easy to read, tries to convey the text fully, and while the translation is from the vulgate the notes discussing the variance from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.

PS: http://www.cormacburke.or.ke/book/knox_bible will gove you an idea of it.. actually a bit better since the archaisms are reduced.
I much agree!!
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
I just incidentally got an email from another catholic vendor that was selling a new publishing of the Knox translation. I purchased an old copy from Alibris. While I like a hard copy of a book in my hands, I am starting to use my logos now less for study resources and more for reading sine there is an upsurge of Catholic works being produced. It takes some getting used to, moving from reading a book in hand to reading a digital copy.
I'm bringing up this thread again, because I agree compeltely with Mr. St. Columcille.
I also bought the Baronius Press copy of the Knox, and it's my favorite reading Bible. This is a vital addition.
Excellent suggestion.
And for anyone curious, 'google' St Columcille! Interesting.
See this thread for my Ronald Knox suggestion:http://community.logos.com/forums/t/71886.aspx
I purchased a paper copy of his vulgate translation - I would still like to see a Knox collection being offered.

It also disappeared from the cormacburke site, at least to public access. You can find a recording on YouTube, so far, but that's a different kind of thing.
