Description
“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.
