Jim Bishop
1930年，毕晓普在《纽约每日镜报》找到一份小记者的工作，他在那里一直工作到1943年，当时他加入了《科利尔》杂志。他一直在那里工作到1945年。
他为他的朋友和导师，好莱坞制片人马克-海灵格写作的计划，随着海灵格在1947年的去世而结束。毕晓普在1952年写了一本关于海灵格的传记[3] 。
从1946年到1948年，毕晓普是《自由》杂志的执行编辑，然后他在美国音乐公司担任文学部主任直到1951年。接下来，他是金牌图书（福塞特出版社的少年部）的创始编辑，直到1953年。
20世纪50年代，毕晓普在新泽西州海布赖特的泽西海岸进行写作，周末回到位于新泽西州蒂内克的家中看望他的妻子和孩子。记者，与国王专题辛迪加合作，一直持续到1983年。这也使他被列入尼克松政治对手的总名单。
毕晓普在其职业生涯的剩余时间里，一直在撰写有关知名人士的传记书籍和以基督教为主题的书籍。
毕晓普的书《林肯被枪杀的日子》于1955年出版。毕晓普为这本书工作了24年。该书很成功，销售了300多万册，并被翻译成16种语言[1]。
毕晓普还写了《基督死亡之日》（1957年）、《基督诞生之日》（1960年）和《肯尼迪被枪杀之日》（1968年）。也许他最受好评的书是《FDR的最后一年》。1944年4月至1945年4月》（1974年），该书使公众认识到二战期间围绕富兰克林-D-罗斯福总统健康状况恶化的秘密。
一本自传《主教的忏悔》于1981年出版。
在《基督逝世之日》出版60年后，迈克尔-德-萨皮奥在《危机杂志》上发表文章，对作者表示敬佩。
吉姆-毕晓普本质上是一个相信福音书真实性的天主教徒。这里没有圣经修正主义，没有试图从经文中清除奇迹的归纳性尝试。

James Alonzo Bishop (November 21, 1907 – July 26, 1987)[1][2] was an American journalist and author who wrote the bestselling book The Day Lincoln was Shot.[3]
In 1930, Bishop got a job as a cub reporter at New York Daily Mirror, where he worked until 1943, when he joined Collier's magazine. He remained there until 1945.
His plans to write for his friend and mentor, Hollywood producer Mark Hellinger, ended with Hellinger's death in 1947. Bishop wrote a biography of Hellinger in 1952.[3]
From 1946 to 1948, Bishop was executive editor of Liberty magazine, he then was director of the literary department at the Music Corporation of America until 1951. Next, he was the founding editor of Gold Medal Books (the juvenile division of Fawcett Publications) until 1953.
In the 1950s, Bishop would do his writing at the Jersey Shore in Sea Bright, New Jersey, going back to his home in Teaneck, New Jersey on weekends to see his wife and children.[4] In 1957, he started his column, Jim Bishop: Reporter, with King Features Syndicate, which continued until 1983. It also landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents.[citation needed]
Bishop spent the remainder of his career writing biographical books about notable figures and Christian-themed books.
Bishop's book The Day Lincoln Was Shot was published in 1955. Bishop had worked on the book for 24 years. The book was successful, selling more than 3 million copies, and it was translated into 16 languages.[1]
Bishop also wrote The Day Christ Died (1957), The Day Christ Was Born (1960), and The Day Kennedy Was Shot (1968). Perhaps his most critically acclaimed book was FDR's Last Year: April 1944 – April 1945 (1974), which brought to public awareness the secrecy that surrounded President Franklin D. Roosevelt's declining health during World War II.[3]
An autobiography, A Bishop's Confession, was published in 1981.
Writing in Crisis Magazine sixty years after the publication of The Day Christ Died, Michael De Sapio offers these words of admiration for the author:
Jim Bishop was at heart a Catholic who believed in the veracity of the Gospels. There is no biblical revisionism here, no reductive attempts to purge the miraculous out of scripture.[5]
Bishop died of respiratory failure on 26 July 1987 at his home in Delray Beach, Florida.[1]
