SynopsisYou've heard about their secret meetings, their mysterious symbols, their special handshakes. Are they a religion? A cult? Was George Washington really a member? Do their ancient symbols really appear on the dollar bill? Who are the Freemasons? Where do they come from? What do they believe in? In Freemasonry For Beginners, bestselling author and historian Brother Robert Lomas takes you behind the scenes and back in time to reveal the origins, symbols, rituals, organization, and philosophy of Masonic fraternalism. Comic art and illuminating graphics by Sarah Becan help explain the history and traditions of Freemasonry from its Scottish roots, expansion in Europe, and early days in North America all the way to the first Masonic lodge on the Moon. Book jacket., Many people have heard of Freemasonry, but few have any idea what it is, what it does, or why it exists. Freemasonry is not a religion, but rather a spiritual self-help society whose declared purpose is to help members become better citizens, and it has a strong track record of doing just that since it began in Scotland in the 15th century. Freemasonry For Beginners explores the objectives and teaching methods of Freemasonry and describes its influence on society in the past, present, and future. It recounts the origins of the movement in Scotland and its spread to North America and the rest of the world. Not least of all, it shows how Masonic teachings have helped so many members over the centuries learn the skills to become leaders in society, science, and the arts.
