The Temple and the Lodge
The Masonic Connection
Book •
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas's "The Temple and the Lodge" proposes a compelling theory linking Freemasonry to the Knights Templar and their purported secrets associated with the Temple of Solomon.
The book suggests that the Templars, after their suppression, preserved ancient knowledge and rituals related to the Temple, which later influenced the development of Freemasonry.
Knight and Lomas present a historical narrative that intertwines the fates of these two enigmatic orders, highlighting shared symbols, architectural connections, and esoteric traditions.
The book's thesis has been met with both enthusiasm and skepticism, as scholars debate the extent to which the Templars directly shaped the evolution of Freemasonry.
Nevertheless, "The Temple and the Lodge" remains a thought-provoking exploration of the possible connections between these influential organizations, inviting readers to consider the hidden depths of Masonic symbolism and the enduring legacy of the Knights Templar.
