"If he could once realise that the dogmas of the Church were the dogmas of the universe; and not only that, but that the world convincedly realised it too;-why then, the fact that the civilisation of today was actually moulded upon it would no longer bewilder him." A man suddenly comes to himself with no idea who or where he is, having in his head the ideas of the early twentieth century, but living some sixty years later, in a world that radically departed from the ideas of the twentieth century and instead found Christ.

"If he could once realise that the dogmas of the Church were the dogmas of the universe; and not only that, but that the world convincedly realised it too;-why then, the fact that the civilisation of today was actually moulded upon it would no longer bewilder him." A man suddenly comes to himself with no idea who or where he is, having in his head the ideas of the early twentieth century, but living some sixty years later, in a world that radically departed from the ideas of the twentieth century and instead found Christ. But, while he wrestles with this new state of affairs, finding himself in a position of some importance, the old ways reveal that while they have laid low, they have not yet lost their grip on all men's minds. The Dawn of All was written by Monsignor Benson as a sort of antidote to The Lord of the World, a fascinating parable of what the world could be if it acknowledged Christ as King.

Autorenporträt
Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914) was an English priest and prolific author, who garnered posthumous acclaim for his literary contributions to the Christian fiction genre. The son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Benson was initially an Anglican priest but later converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1904. This conversion significantly influenced his writing, and he often explored the conflicting tensions between the Anglican and Catholic faiths within his works. Benson was distinguished for his skillful storytelling and his ability to intertwine religious themes with the popular fiction of his time. Perhaps his most notable dystopian work, 'The Dawn of All' - a lesser-known sequel to his acclaimed novel 'Lord of the World' - envisions a future where Roman Catholicism has shaped world society. Benson's literary style is characterized by rich description, deep religious and philosophical underpinnings, and a nuanced understanding of human nature and theology. Although his works primarily attracted Catholic readers, the universal appeal of his themes has continued to resonate with a broader audience. Benson's contributions to Christian literature and his exploration of prophetic and speculative fiction remain influential, underlining the enduring significance of his canon far beyond his lifetime.
