NONE OTHER GODS

None Other Gods by Robert Hugh Benson depicts the story of Frank Guiseley, a young man who abandons his Cambridge degree to "go to the roads" of England. Even as the novelty of his roaming ways wears off, Frank discovers that his renunciation of the world and its wealth has inspired him with a new and inexplicable sense of purpose and calm. Frank, who converted to Catholicism while at Cambridge, goes through the transformational transformations of grace—what Benson refers to as "purgation, illumination, and union" in the novel's Dedication.

None Other Gods fits among works like Chesterton's Manalive, as Benson shows a life that defies all expectations and culminates in the ultimate sacrifice of love.

“Here, in what is supposed by the world to be the narrow constraint of religion, was a liberty and an outlook into realities such as the open road and nature can but seldom give.”

Paperback. 354 pages.

THE DAWN OF ALL

The Dawn of All describes a world where Christianity is the ruling power, a world in which every knee must bend to the graced authority of the Pope. Yet for the priest who awakens to find himself at the center of this world, this world is not his world and this Church is hardly recognizable as his, let alone Christ’s.

In his most famous novel, Lord of the World, which was acclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, Benson sought to portray the world as it would be if the errors of modern thought were prolonged into the next century.

Here, in The Dawn of All, he writes to “sketch the kind of developments [that] may reasonably be expected should…ancient thought…be prolonged instead.”

The novel is a compelling, keenly unsettling read, demanding deep reflection on what we mean when we pray, “the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours.”

Paperback. 272 pages.

THE LIGHT INVISIBLE

The Light Invisible, the first of sixteen novels written by Robert Hugh Benson throughout his lifetime, is an investigation of miracles and mysticism in the natural world. The novel, told through a sequence of interconnected vignettes by an elderly priest, seeks to demonstrate what Benson refers to as a "talent universal to all who have a cohesive spiritual life." This faculty is responsible for discerning divine truths in each distinct element of creation, directed at all times by the ultimate wisdom of Revelation. The Light Invisible captures Benson at the start of his literary career, chronicling his distinctive route through the hurdles of crafting distinctly Christian novels.

Paperback. 202 pages.
