The first book to show the enormous links between Masonic ritual, the Bible and Christianity. Who were Tubalcain, Jabal and Jubal and what is their significance for the Freemason? There is a general interest in the rituals of Freemasonry, generated in part by the apparently obscure references they contain. This is the only book that offers a guide to the stories used in Masonic ritual and their links to the Bible and Christianity. The new Mason is directed to a 'serious contemplation of the Volume of the Sacred Law' - but that is easier said than done without a grounding in the Scriptures, something that fewer and fewer people have. The historical and geographical setting of the Bible is explained here, making such contemplation easier for Mason and non-Mason alike. Mike Neville has systematically cross-referenced the most influential Chapters of the Bible to the ceremonies. It is his intention to get Freemasons to understand the ritual - not just to memorise and regurgitate - as well as to elucidate for the non-Mason. Sacred Secrets will aid the clergy, theologians and any other person interested in Freemasonry to see the links between ritual and scripture. AUTHOR: Mike Neville has been a Freemason since 1995 and is a member of Craft lodges in Surrey and London. He is also a member of the Holy Royal Arch, Mark, Royal Ark Mariner, Royal & Select Masters, Allied Masonic Degrees and Red Cross of Constantine. He has performed much ritual, including Tracing Boards and lectures in several degrees, and it was from this work that he began his research. From this he began to give illustrated presentations on this research and these have been given across the UK. To further his knowledge he has climbed Mount Sinai and visited various Biblical locations featured in Masonic ritual, including Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and Ephesus. 21 colour, 58 b/w illustrations
