Introduction to Freemasonry, Vol. I: Entered Apprentice

by Carl H. Caudy

A simple explanation of the period of learning and fundamentals. This book answers the elementary inquiries of the new brother to whom all the craft is strange. This set of books will also make many a Mason sit up in astonishment that what he thought obvious and uninteresting is so vividly alive.

A good but very brief overview. Could be useful for hooking non-readers or new Masons into discovering more about their ancient and honorable order. As I came to the craft already having read lots on the subject, I found this book to be too shallow to be of any use. I think it will come in handy for certain others, though. Every lodge should have a copy on hand!

Great book and very insightful. I think this is a timeless introduction for the starting EA.

A Great Resource for New Brothers

An excellent read for new initiates, as well as veterans who might want a refresh or dive deeper. I will recommend this to all new brothers.

Pretty good. There were a couple things I kind of raised my eyes at - but overall I think it'd give a new EA a lot to think about.

Brother Claudy provides a brief overview of important aspects regarding the Entered Apprentice degree in Freemasonry, which includes its history, Masonic concepts, symbols and everything in between. While the book is not extensive in the information shared, it does go into detail enough to both explain and generate curiosity in the mind of the reader to conduct further research into the Craft and its philosophical influences.

Good For Its Intended Purpose

I wholeheartedly recommend for EA's to reinforce and explain their journey. Might be a good book report for an EA to present to the lodge!
