An experienced Freemason and award-winning psychologist provides a
precise and engaging exploration of the core meaning and practices of
Freemasonry for the new generation of people interested in joining the
order, and those who are simply curious in the wake of recent media
coverage.
Entertaining books and movies often depict
Freemasonry as a shadowy, mysterious, and possibly sinister
organization, and the TV and magazine specials on Freemasonry that
inevitably follow often leave us with more questions than answers.
Mark E. Koltko-Rivera, a practicing thirty-second-degree Mason, has
created a simple, authoritative, and easy-to-understand introduction to
the history, rites, and meaning of Freemasonry. It may be the single
most reliable short guide to Masonry, written by a widely recognized
psychologist and scholar of esoteric history.
Koltko-Rivera's trustworthy handbook explores all the basic issues around Masonry, like:
*What is Freemasonry, and what is its history?
*How does one become a Freemason?
*What are some of the most important Masonic symbols?
*What do Masons get from their involvement in Freemasonry? What changes does it make in their inner and outer lives?
*What is it like to participate in the initiatory rituals of Freemasonry?
*What are some of the great historical controversies and myths surrounding Freemasonry?
*How is Masonry relevant today?
