Brotherhood

"The Brotherhood takes a look inside the enigmatic institution of the Freemasons and the trials facing the ancient order as it approaches the challenges of the twenty-first century. With a detailed examination of the visible structure of international Freemasonry and the myths and legends that surround it, the book examines the true meaning of Freemasonry - its mythological and real history, its social context, and the symbolism and philosophy that illuminate every aspect of the Craft. Tracking the traditions, symbolism, relics and rituals from the Knights Templar to today's Freemasons who pledge to abide by the time-honoured tenets of morality, charity and loyalty, The Brotherhood reveals the true purposes of this ancient secret society."--BOOK JACKET.Brotherhood, with ISBN 9780972141420 and ISBN 0972141421.
