by John Ankerberg (Author), John Weldon (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Are Masonry and Christianity truly compatible? Using their concise question–and–answer style, noted researchers John Ankerberg and John Weldon look at the basics of the issue, examining Masons’ claims and terminology and asking such critical questions as—

• Is Freemasonry a religion?
• What do Masons teach about Jesus Christ?
• What do Masonic symbols represent?
• Is the God of the Bible also the God of the Masonic Lodge?

Easy to follow and practical, this thought–provoking resource will help readers understand one of North America’s most widespread organizations—and the beliefs of people belonging to it—in light of the clear teaching of the Bible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Interesting issue, July 30, 2008

By	Algesan (USA) - See all my reviews

Simple. Ankerberg and Weldon in their continuing quest to bear false witness for profit. They've been busted on misusing Pike's work (antimasons never get around to quoting the preface, it utterly destroys their case), claiming false Masonic rank for their "experts" (this is know as lying) and quoting from rituals that were never used by any regular Masonic organization.

Considering Revelation 22:15, I'd seriously wonder about these two gentlemen. If you start with Exodus 20:16 and follow through, the burden of proof falls on them to repent and be saved. Old and New Testament, failure to keep the 9th commandment almost invariably points to both a false salvation and other sins.

Amazing how these guys make a profit for their "ministries", while most of the Masonic sources that blow them out of the water are freely available on the Net.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Starter Resource , February 28, 2006

By	TR France (USA) - See all my reviews

Not bad, just not as extensive as I'd like it to be. But if you're looking for a basic resource to give you an overview of Masonry from a Christian perspective, this is a good start. For those looking to doing heavier research, after reading this, one can then look into other, more detailed books that go more in depth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Anti-Masonic Book, March 15, 2006

By	Michael R. Poll (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beware! This is an anti-Masonic book and should not be looked upon as a book to provide actual facts concerning Freemasonry. This book is recommended only if one wishes to see the nonsense the anti-Masons are saying about Freemasonry.
For more balanced and factual aoounts of the nature of Freemasonry, read: 'Is it True what they Say about Freemasonry?' by Arturo de Hoyos & S. Brent Morris, 'Masonic Questions and Answers' by Paul M. Bessel & 'A Pilgrim's Path: Freemasonry and the Religious Right' by John J. Robinson.
