About the author
Born in New York City in 1865, Martin Jerome Scott was an American Jesuit priest and author. Reliable sources identify him as a member of the Society of Jesus who wrote numerous books, pamphlets, and articles, especially on Catholic belief and practice.
He is closely associated with St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Manhattan, where he served in the early 20th century and worked extensively with young people. His writing reflects that pastoral side of his life: alongside books of religious argument, he also published practical and family-centered works including God and Myself, You and Yours, and Religion and Common Sense.
Some library catalogs list his dates as 1865–1964, but biographical sources located here give his death date as November 29, 1954. Because of that mismatch, the earlier catalog form is best treated cautiously.
