Sacred Secrets: Freemasonry, the Bible and Christian Faith - Paperback

by Mike Neville (Author)

The first book to show the enormous links between Masonic ritual, the Bible and Christianity

Who were Tubalcain, Jabal and Jubal and what is their significance for the Freemason?

There is a general interest in the rituals of Freemasonry, generated in part by the apparently obscure references they contain. This is the only book that offers a guide to the stories used in Masonic ritual and their links to the Bible and Christianity.

The new Mason is directed to a 'serious contemplation of the Volume of the Sacred Law' -- but that is easier said than done without a grounding in the Scriptures, something that fewer and fewer people have. The historical and geographical setting of the Bible is explained here, making such contemplation easier for Mason and non-Mason alike.

Mike Neville has systematically cross-referenced the most influential Chapters of the Bible to the ceremonies. It is his intention to get Freemasons to understand the ritual -- not just to memorize and regurgitate -- as well as to elucidate for the non-Mason. Sacred Secrets will aid the clergy, theologians and any other person interested in Freemasonry to see the links between ritual and scripture.
