Of Masonic symbols, one of the most important but least known is the building stone. It appears again and again in the ritual, playing a central role in Masonic teachings. But what lies beneath this stone? Is the foundation on which it rests merely a fraternal organization? Or is it an international conspiracy? Does it embrace moral lessons or a secret doctrine? Does it teach fellowship and brotherly love, or is a hidden agenda buried beneath its pomp and ceremony?

A Long Time Mason,
By
This review is from: Beneath the Stone: The Story of Masonic Secrecy (Paperback)
I am a long time mason -- in fact I was Master of my Lodge 20 years ago in a Colonial Lodge. Even with this backgtround and being fairly well read in masonic matters, I found this book a very interesting insite into the part of Masonic History shrouded in the dust of time. While many of its conclusions are speculative, they are founded on the thin facts we actually have on the origin of the craft. I was very sorry to see that it is currently out of print. We are currently confering the degrees on a class of 6 and I wished to purchase copies for each of them. The copy I have was purchased by my wife when she visited the Geo W. Memorial -- perhaps they might have a few copies left.

Confusing sort of ramble....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beneath the Stone: The Story of Masonic Secrecy (Paperback)
I'm not a mason, but over the last several months I have had the opportunity to read several books on Freemasonry. C. Bruce Hunter's is *not* one of the better ones. It seems to be a disjointed book making questionble connections in history and passing over some key points. It's not a pro/anti- mason book - but for those looking for a good book on the history and background of freemasonry - you'd be better served by reading something like Robinson's Born in Blood.....
