The Star in the East - George Oliver - Bog

The Star in the East: Shewing the Analogy which Exists between the Lectures of Freemasonry, the Mechanism of Initiation into its Mysteries, and the Christian Religion is a fascinating study of the connections between two seemingly disparate systems of belief and ritual. Written by George Oliver, a prominent freemason and Christian scholar, this book argues that the principles and symbols of masonry are in fact consistent with the teachings of the Bible, and that masonry offers a legitimate and beneficial path to spiritual enlightenment and moral improvement. With its lucid arguments, rich historical context, and generous spirit of ecumenism, this book offers a fresh and persuasive voice in the ongoing conversation between faith and reason.
