Publisher's Synopsis
""Three Distinct Knocks On the Door of the Most Ancient Freemasonry"" is a book written by Samuel Pritchard that delves into the history, philosophy, and symbolism of Freemasonry. The book is divided into three sections, each of which corresponds to one of the three knocks traditionally heard at the door of a Masonic lodge. In the first section, Pritchard explores the origins of Freemasonry, tracing its roots back to the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Greece. He discusses the development of Masonic rituals and symbols, as well as the role of secrecy and initiation in the Masonic tradition. The second section of the book focuses on the moral and ethical teachings of Freemasonry. Pritchard examines the Masonic virtues of brotherly love, relief, and truth, and discusses how these principles can be applied in everyday life. Finally, in the third section, Pritchard explores the spiritual aspects of Freemasonry. He discusses the Masonic belief in a Supreme Being, as well as the role of faith and spirituality in the Masonic tradition. Overall, ""Three Distinct Knocks On the Door of the Most Ancient Freemasonry"" provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the history, philosophy, and spirituality of Freemasonry, making it a valuable resource for both Masons and non-Masons alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
