HUBY, JOSEPH. - Jesuit, apologist, and exegete, b. at Châtelaudren (Brittany) on 12 Dec. 1878, d. at Laniscat (Brittany) on 7 Aug. 1948. He studied theology under the great master and inspirer, Fr. Léonce de Grandmaison, who, recognizing his talent, gave decisive direction to his life as a writer. He first taught apologetics at Ore Place (Hastings [1913-22]), except for a brief period (1917-19) when he worked for the periodical *Recherches de science religieuse*; then he was entrusted with the chair of New Testament exegesis, preceded by a study trip to the Holy Land. In 1938 he definitively moved to the editorial staff of the periodical *Etudes* in Paris.
PUBLISHED, under the impetus of Fr. de Grandmaison and with the collaboration of many, a volume on the history of religions: *Christus* (Paris 1911), which went through several editions; in 1924 he founded and directed until his death the series *Verbum salutis*, for which he subsequently published: *L'Evangile selon st Marc* (Paris 1923), *L'Evangile selon st Luc*, in collaboration with Fr. A. Valensin (ibid. 1927), *L'Evangile et les Evangiles* (ibid. 1931), *Le discours après la Cène* (ibid. 1932), *Les mythomanies de l'Union nationale* (ibid. 1933), *St Paul. Les épîtres de la captivité* (ibid. 1935), *St Paul. L'Épître aux Romains* (ibid. 1940), *St Paul. Première épître au Corinthiens* (ibid. 1946), *Mystique paulinienne et johannique* (ibid. 1947); and moreover a very considerable number of articles and reviews on apologetic and scriptural topics in *Recherches de science religieuse*, *Etudes*, *Construire*, and other cultural journals.
