Summary
Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh: Temple and Lodge
Temple and Lodge provides one of the best overviews of the history of Freemasonry. From his birth, through the preservation of Templar traditions, the current of European thought, the mystery that surrounds the Rosslyn Chapel, and through the entire spectrum of aristocrats, who formed the personal bodyguard of the French king (Scots Guard). Following the trail of freemasonry through the 17th and 18th centuries, the authors reveal its contribution in encouraging and nurturing the ideas of tolerance, progressive values and cohesion of English society, which helped the outbreak of the French-style revolution. Even more exciting is the revelation that Freemasonry presents as a key factor in the creation of the USA, as the embodiment of the ideal "Masonic Republic".
