Their startling and unexpected conclusions are presented here--backed by rigorous analyses of ancient Egyptian records, the Old and New Testaments, early Christian and Rabbinical texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the rituals of Freemasonry. 16 pages of photos.

Date Published: 1998
Description: Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition but there is a crack along the spine separating the pages into two sections. A book that will shake the Christian world to its very roost. When the authors, both Masons, set out to find the origins of Freemasonry they had no idea they would find themselves unraveling the true story of Jesus Christ and the original Jerusalem Church. As a radically new picture of Jesus and his ultra-Jewish sect started to emerge, the authors came to the controversial ... read more
"Dull. Boring and longwinded. I bought this book because of misguided friendship and I'm sorry I did. I was never truly a fan of alternative (possible) history timelines, and this book almost made me completely dig a deep and unending mental grave for the people that believe in that theory."
"This was an early book - for me - on the history of the craft, written by Chris Knight. I got to know Chris through this book. We have over time, traded a number of emails. This book traces the craft - with several leaps of faith and "fact pointing" to the Egyptians and the pyramids. This book has been signed by Chris Knight."
"I read this at an interesting period of my life where things I know I no longer know if I know for sure. This book only added to questions I have about life, God, and what we really know about history.
Although, the purpose of the book is to show the lineage of the Masonic order, which it does convincingly, it also discusses iconic biblical figures such as Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and, extensively, Jesus. This book illustrates these acnient figures, who I have been taught to revere and resepect, in a comepletely new light. Shedding light on any subject only helps us have greater knowledge and while some of the theories the authors spout as fact are really only personal theories, they do provide enough tentative evidence for the reader to really question what they know as truth.
Very interesting and almost comes off as a Dan Brown conspiracy only much more convincing and better researched than a novel, but still lacking solid scientific evidence in a lot of the areas they pass off as absolute fact.
p.s. They provide convincing evidence of an additional group of men discovering the "America's" before Columbus in addition to the Vikings and the Chinese."
