Title: Four months to read this Little Book.....
Review: .... and I'm finding that any answers I find lead to more questions. This is a challenging book, make no mistake. I've taken a long time to complete it. But for those interested in the 'speculative' (i.e. the philospohical and allegorical aspects of Craft lore) it's an invaluable read.To be fair, Wilmshurst takes such a western/Christian take on the Craft, that others may be put off... I have no problem with it. I would, just as quickly, take up a similar discussion of the Craft from a Judaic or Islamic (or even Buddhist or Hindu) point of view, because one cannot fully understand a concept until one looks at it from many different angles."The Meaning of Masonry" is just but a small footstep into a larger world. If you're a non-Mason, or not an individual who's clearly seeking the metaphoric 'light', then this book will pose an even greater challenge.
Is the review positive or negative?
