There are over ten million freemasons in the world. The supposed power of their occult network is often feared, and yet freemasonry is not a closed doctrine. Richly illustrated, Symbols of Freemasonry provides a synthesis of one of mankind's oldest existing secular brotherhoods. It is designed both for the initiated and for newcomers interested in gaining a better understanding of this fascinating but often misrepresented society.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully illustrated, this book is extremely well done.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Symbols of Freemasonry (Symbols of Religion S.) (Hardcover)
I would recommend this book to anyone belonging to or interested in the Masonic fraternity. It becomes more interesting in that it is a translation of work originally written by a French Mason and therefore portions are unfamiliar to those of us familiar with Freemasonry in the U.S. Again the illustrations are splendid and would be worthy without the text. The thoughtful description of the Fraternity only adds to the value of this most intersting explanation of Masonic allegory and symbology.

By Eric W. Vogt, Ph.D., Author of The Spanish Su... (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Symbols of Freemasonry (Symbols of Religion S.) (Hardcover)
A beautiful coffee-table book with text, it displays and briefly explains the outward meaning of the symbols of the Craft. Translated from French, it gives a view of the universality of Freemasonry and at the same time, its variety. Inasmuch as it reflects both the diversity of the Craft and its universality, it is a reminder of what our Founding Fathers meant when they coined the motto E pluribus unum for The Great Seal of the United State.This is a good book for Freemasons in the English-speaking world inasmuch as for intelligent and attentive members of the Craft, it suggests the subtle differences that exist between the French and the Americans.
