Pike was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, 33, SJ USA, rewrote its rituals, and is perhaps best known for publishing Morals and Dogma in 1872. Pike wrote at a time when he could expect his audience to understand theology, philosophy, and the classics. His writings can be difficult for today's reader because of differing education backgrounds and because his prose is suited for Victorian tastes.Bro.

Thus, Hutchens brings unique skills to analyzing Pikes writings.Essay topics include:Religion and Philosophy: An Infinite SearchPikes Unity Concept: A Purpose and Theme Symbolism: The Soul of Masonry Mythology: Legends with a Purpose Knights Templar, Druids, Rosicrucian's, and many more. This is a book for anyone interested in what's behind the degrees and symbols of Freemasonry, especially the Scottish Rite.
