Book Review: A Pilgrims Path
John J. Robinson’s “A Pilgrim’s Path – Freemasonry and the Religious Right” is a well researched, eloquently written rebuttal to the many false accusations levied against Freemasonry in the early 1990s by such well known fundamentalist Christian evangelicals as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.
Book Review: The Royal Arch: Its Hidden Meaning
Royal Arch: Its Hidden Meaning by George H. Steinmetz remains a highly interesting book that covers a very specific facet of freemasonry. As the title indicates, the book delves into the subject of the Royal Arch. To those outside of the freemasonic world, the Royal Arch does not appear to have much meaning. In fact, you could say it is quite innocuous. In reality, there is much meaning behind the imagery of the Royal Arch. Nothing in freemasonry is without specific origins and meanings. That is what makes the study of freemasonry so interesting. Thanks to the work of George H. Steinmetz, a reader seeking the knowledge can definitively find it through this outstanding text.
