Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles G. Finney (1792-1875), a Master Mason, became a Christian in 1824 & renounced Freemasonry. Thereafter, he preached revival throughout the eastern part of the USA. Freemasonry writes that "Finney preached anti-Masonry wherever he was, & with former 33rd degree Freemason, Jonathan Blanchard, a Presbyterian minister & president of Wheaton College, published an anti-Masonic newspaper." What prompted Finney to write & preach against Freemasonry was the Masonic murder of Captain William Morgan. Morgan became a Christian in 1825 & renounced Freemasonry. He felt compelled to expose in a book the unconstitutional & anti-Christian practices of the Masonic Lodges. As a consequence, he was assassinated by three Masons. Not until the Masonic murder of William Morgan did Finney begin preaching anti-Masonry along with his revival messages. By 1830, 40,000 of the 50,000 Masons in America had renounced Freemasonry, & 2,000 lodges had closed their doors. For all practical purposes Freemasonry was dead, so thought Finney. After the American Civil War, however, Freemasonry was stronger than ever. Consequently, in 1869, Finney was compelled to write a book on the subject. Finney begins with details of the Masonic abduction & murder of Captain William Morgan. He quotes the deathbed confession of one of the assassins. He then informs the church of its responsibility toward the Masonic Lodge. With the exception of a new introduction & epilogue, Jon Kregal, Inc. Publishing reprinted Finney's book without alteration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today some six million Freemasons around the world continue to perform their rituals regularly – an enormous legacy of spiritual endeavour, kept largely in secret. In Britain alone there are over 7,000 lodges, with a quarter of a million members. What is this wealth, this appeal, and how did the philosopher and spiritual scientist Rudolf Steiner reinterpret or reconstruct Freemasonry’s time-worn legacy? Unless one is a Freemason, the masonic world, with its arcane conventions and language, remains largely unknown: an obscurity that is almost impossible to fathom. Yet understanding its traditions and style are invaluable when approaching Goethe, Mozart, Herder, Lessing and Novalis – as well as Rudolf Steiner. Steiner himself renewed the ‘Royal Art’ of Freemasonry from 1906 to 1914 through his ritual work known as Mystica Æterna. When Steiner invigorated education, medicine, the social order and religion, he fully intended that committed and professional individuals should assume responsibility for the new initiatives. But this was not the case with the Masonic Order he founded, whose leadership he took upon himself. Even the celebration of his passing in 1925, led by Marie Steiner, was entirely Masonic in character. In the context of continuing resistance and misrepresentation, N.V.P. Franklin uncovers the living heart of Freemasonry and reveals why it was – and still is – immensely relevant to anthroposophy. With profound research into its older rituals and teachings, this detailed and conscientious study is a unique contribution to comprehending freemasonry and anthroposophy – both historically and in the present day.

Download or read book The Freemasons written by Jasper Ridley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Mozart and Bach, Oscar Wilde and Anthony Trollope, George Washington and Frederick the Great, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt have in common? They were all Freemasons, a subject of endless fascination. To the layman, they are a mysterious brotherhood of profound if uncertain influence, a secret society purported in some popular histories to have its roots in the fabled order of the Knights Templar, or in the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids. They evoke fears of world domination by a select few who enjoy privileged access to wealth and the levers of power. The secrecy of their rites suggests the taint of sacrilege, and their hidden loyalties are sometimes accused of undermining the workings of justice and the integrity of nations. Though not a mason himself, Jasper Ridley nonetheless refutes many of the outrageous allegations made against Freemasonry, while at the same time acknowledging the masons’ shortcomings: their clannishness, misogyny, obsession with secrecy, and devotion to arcane ritual. In this much-needed reassessment, he offers a substantial work of history that sifts the truth from the myth as it traces Freemasonry from its origins to the present day.
