According to the 245 $c in OCLC record #98168802 for "Understanding the Bible," the author of that book is named as "Louis W. Bookheim, Jr." In that case, per RDA 9.2.2.9.5, you should establish him as "Bookheim, Louis W., $c Jr." The title page name of the law librarian on his work is "Louis W. Bookheim." We prefer the formal name--"Bookheim, Louis W." The presence of "Jr." is both required by RDA and sufficient to distinguish the two names. "Bookheim, Bill" or "Bookheim, Bill W." becomes a 400 variant name for the law librarian.
