I enjoyed it, and I have read several of the author's books. Just remember that it is speculation, not historical fact.
It's a good book but it won't teach you anything about Freemasonry being written as it was by an interested non-Mason.
It was first Published in 1989 and he subsequently wrote another book called "A Pilgrim's Path" published in 1993 which detailed some of the nutters he came up against while promoting BiB and he subsequently went on to join a Lodge.
Sadly he died in 1996 so he wasn't able to re-visit BiB and to correct some of his erroneous material regarding Freemasonry.
The problem with BiB is that it is speculation. There is a point in the book where you can feel the author "reach" to make the connection from the back story of the lodon riots and the disbanding of the Templars to modern day freemasonry. Modern meaning the "coming out" of freemasonry in 1717.I was not aware that before 5717 it was really a secret society ?
My Freemasonry HD
It wasn't a "secret society" before 1717, it just wasn't the same Fraternity that it is now.I was not aware that before 5717 it was really a secret society ?
