The Monks of Thelema was a novel by Walter Besant and James Rice. It was published in 1878 by Chatto & Windus, London.
This novel includes descriptions of a sort of "church of Thelema", similar to the Abbey of Thélème, described in Rabelais's Gargantua. Aleister Crowley later founded a religion with this name (see Thelema, Abbey of Thelema).
