Msgr. Robert Hugh Bensons Lord of the World is a novel about
the Antichrist, who will tempt Christians to apostasy before
Christs Second Coming. It describes the final battle in the
supernatural war for souls that has been fought continually both in
heaven and on earth from the time of the Fall and will conclude
with the general judgment; thereupon will follow the creation of a
new heaven and a new earth. As we will see, before creating his
fictional account, Msgr. Benson carefully explored the various
passages on the end-times included in Scripture and the teachings
of the Church Fathers as background for this tale of the
Antichrist. The oft-cited definition of a classic is a book that
remains in print.
