Masonic Lodge

by George A. Mather, Larry A. Nichols

Many make the mistake of thinking because a thing is common, it is probably harmless. Masonic Temples are everywhere. Are the Masons just another "service organization"? Though their rites are secret, Masons assure others that their practices are totally compatible with Christianity. But there is an injunction to each Mason to practice "his particular religious creed, that revelation of the Deity which is recognized by his religion." What really goes on behind the Temple door? Here is a discerning, detailed response. -- Why this series? This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys. Each book has five sections: - A concise introduction to the group - An overview of the group's theology -- in its own words - Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group - A bibliography with sources for further study - A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group -- The writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help us discern religious truth from falsehood.

The book is a guide to cults and religious movements. Mather and Nichols compare the doctrines of the Masonic lodge and Christianity. Doctrines of both movements have indepth explanations. Also, specific references are given for all the material. After reading this book the reader has reference material which will give more information. Masons who have influenced history within the USA are named. There is a comparison chart at the end that is enlightening. Bible scripture is quoted to enhance explanations. The book I read was an Amazon kindle book. I thought the book was specific and fair in its evaluations.

This book contains a lot of useful info but also a lot of dogmatic theology that is supported by a few simple and often irrelevant prooftexts.

Interesting read. If you want to know what goes on in those buildings with no windows in nearly every town in America, then read this booklet. Word of caution; several men I knew, that were masons, got upset with my friends and I when we started asking questions.
