Robert Hugh Benson 
Lord of the World: Collector’s Edition 
with Glossary of Terms

‘Lord of the World’ is a dystopian novel which depicts a future where religion is scorned, a one-world government has been established and euthanasia is normal. The Catholic Church can do nothing as most of the world becomes Humanistic or Pantheistic. 



The story follows Percy Franklin, a modest priest, who hastily becomes the Pope, and Julian Felsenburgh, a powerfully magnetic man who becomes ruler of the world.



‘Lord of the World, ‘ first published in 1907, is unforgettable. ‘I advise you to read it.’ -Pope Francis



Robert Hugh Benson was an Anglican pastor turned Catholic priest, and a highly prolific writer. Lord of the World is among his great works, and is today as vital as it was when it was first published.
