There passes before us a drama of modern life and pleasure, of glorious youth and love, of tragedy and triumph, of human nature at its worst and best in the challenging personalities of Julian Verrers and the Masterful Monk.
Originally published in 1929, The Masterful Monk by English author Owen Francis Dudley was the third of a series of six volumes dealing with problems of human happiness.
The first book, Will Men be like Gods?, was an answer to the slanderers of Religion; the second, The Shadow on the Earth, to the slanderers of God. In The Masterful Monk, Dudley endeavours "to meet the modern attack upon Man and his moral nature launched by those who would degrade him to the level of an animal."
