Lord of the World : Large Print

Lord of the World is a 1907 dystopian science fiction novel by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson that centers upon the reign of the Anti-Christ and the End of the World.

It has been called prophetic by Dale Ahlquist, Joseph Pearce, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.I am perfectly aware that this is a terribly sensational book, and open to innumerable criticisms on that account, as well as on many others.

But I did not know how else to express the principles I desired (and which I passionately believe to be true) except by producing their lines to a sensational point.

I have tried, however, not to scream unduly loud, and to retain, so far as possible, reverence and consideration for the opinions of other people.

Whether I have succeeded in that attempt is quite another matter.Robert Hugh Benson.CAMBRIDGE 1907.
