Lord of the World

Sale price$20.99

A charismatic leader promises peace as the last remnants of the Church face persecution.

Robert Hugh Benson's dystopian novel imagines a future in which faith has all but vanished, replaced by a seductive global humanism. As a charismatic leader, Julian Felsenburgh, rises to power promising unity and peace, the last remnants of the Church face mounting persecution.

Standing firm is Fr. Percy Franklin, whose courage and clarity set the stage for an apocalyptic confrontation. First published in 1907, Lord of the World combines vivid storytelling with theological insight.

This edition offers context for readers, including an introduction by Rev. Mark Bosco, SJ, a concise biography of Benson by Martyn Sampson, and a theological reflection by Rev. Michael Murphy, SJ.
