Approaching the Middle Chamber: The Seven Liberal Arts in Freemasonry & the Western Esoteric Tradition

by Jaime Paul Lamb, Jason Marshall, Matthew Anthony

In the culmination of the second section of the Fellowcraft degree, prior to entering the symbolic “middle chamber” of King Solomon's Temple, the Craftsman must ascend a flight of winding stairs, where important lessons are bestowed upon the Craftsman for future reflection and study. Unfortunately, few Craftsman have undertaken the study of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, perhaps due to the fact that prior to this book by Brother Lamb, few books have taken an in-depth look at the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences. This is a well-written, well-researched, and very approachable book that explores how the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences relate to Freemasonry, as well as other esoteric traditions. This book is an instant classic, and a must read for anyone who has tread upon the flight of winding stairs to the middle chamber.

A deep dive into the Fellow craft degree of Freemasonry. I was astounded at the amount of information contained in this book. In Freemasonry the degree of Fellow craft is the second degree of three and it comes and goes very quickly in the initiation. I think this should be required reading in every lodge before advancing.
