There has never been as much controversy in Masonry as that generated by the writings, rituals and symbols of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and its members. The majority of all Masonic conspiracy theories center upon the arcane symbolism of the Rite. In recent years study guides have become available, but they lack an in-depth and personalized discussion of our ancient mystical tradition. A man might read about the color of our hats, but it is unlikely he would be faced with a spiritual discussion of the colors as they relate to the Craft. The time has come for such a book. The time has come for this book. Kyle Ferlemann provides us with an in-depth, easy to read and understand text book for the Scottish Rite. It is, "The Bridge Builders Guide."
