The TEMPLE and the LODGE - by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh

The TEMPLE and the LODGE - by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh (authors of 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail')

This book does not attempt to investigate allegations of conspiracy or corruption - its purpose is fully historical - its main concern is to chart and establish Freemasonry's true origins and clarify it to some extent - in the process certain issues and questions are addressed, such as, why is Freemasonry viewed with such suspicion and derision and is it compatible with Christianity?

Dissecting the myths this book is an illuminating investigation into the evolution of Freemasonry - from the disappearance of the Knights Templars to the birth of the Masonic Lodge and whether the Templars became the Masons - the authors follow Freemasonry from its medieval roots to the modern era. An excellent starting point for the general reader interested in history and this very complicated fraternal order.
