Freemasonry And The Secret Doctrine

""Freemasonry and the Secret Doctrine"" is a book written by Joseph Fort Newton, a renowned American Baptist minister and author.

Newton delves into the history and origins of Freemasonry, tracing its roots back to the medieval guilds of stonemasons and exploring its evolution into a modern-day fraternal organization. He also examines the teachings and beliefs of the Secret Doctrine, which draw from various spiritual traditions and philosophies, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Gnosticism. Throughout the book, Newton argues that Freemasonry and the Secret Doctrine share a common goal of promoting spiritual enlightenment and self-improvement, and that the two can be seen as complementary paths to the same ultimate truth. The book is a fascinating exploration of the connections between these two ancient traditions and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Freemasonry or the esoteric teachings of the Secret Doctrine.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Builders A Story and Study of Masonry, by Joseph Fort Newton.
