Biographical Brief
 
Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990), was a master of English prose - as were Lewis and Chesterton, and (currently) Thomas Howard. He was received into the Catholic Church in 1982 at the age of 79. Primarily a journalist and television host, he has written many popular and critically-acclaimed books, including Jesus Rediscovered (1969), Something Beautiful For God (1971) - about Mother Teresa, essentially introducing her to the West -, Jesus: The Man Who Lives (1975), and Confessions of a 20th Century Pilgrim (1988). Possessed of one of the most outrageous wits and flair for satire of any writer in the 20th century, Muggeridge is renowned for his observations on the foibles and follies of modern man's futile search for contentment apart from God and the deeper abiding truths of life. William F. Buckley described Muggeridge (before the latter converted), as "perhaps the most eloquent English-speaking lay apostle of Christianity," and "a journalist with few, if any, peers" (1). The Washington Post called his autobiography, Chronicles of Wasted Time (1973), "one of the most delightful and entertaining memoirs of our age." Eminent evangelical Anglican John Stott referred to him as "a true prophet of the 20th century . . . a voice crying in the wilderness" (2).
