The Question of Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers

Very informative reading.

I don’t know how anyone could deny the truth after all of the historically documented facts quoted and listed in this book. I heartily recommend this book. Absolutely enjoyed it. So much information! So interesting and entertaining. Will be using this as a part of our homeschool curriculum.

David Barton does not see the country though the eyes of a Freemason, and that shows in the book. However, I have viewed many of his videos and read many of his other works, and I like his work very much. His research is well done and complete. I respect the man and enjoy hearing from him.

A highly informative book about the real story on Freemasonry and the extent of its influence over America's Founding Fathers, this book is well worth reading and keeping at hand on a book shelf as a reference resource when questions come up.

I really respect David Barton and many of his writings, as I am a Christian and also a Free Mason.However he does a good point of showing that Masonry typically was more oriented to Christian religion with prayers and ritual during the times of the Revolution. Despite the Deistic tone we are now accused of, not all Masons consider themselves this.Masonry has stepped back to be more non-denominational, agreed, but nothing, nothing conflicts w/ anyone still being a Christian at home, in church or even in Lodge, if one were to say so.His mistakes are accusing our God as some other made up deity, not knowing or ignoring the fact we still use the King James Bible, and reference it many times in prayer and ritual. It is obvious we stay strictly w/ the Old Testament.The Titles of reverence for God we use and not just "The Grand Warden of Heaven" which may in fact be our own, are also ones used during the times of the 1700's when even Sermons had these Titles for God. Washington used them, a book Sacred Fire by Lillback, one that Barton so loves even states and proves Washington as a Christian, shows even he used such titles for God. In fact it's his book that shows sermons used them as well.Masonry does not indoctrinate anyone w/ the teachings of Albert Pike, personally I think he's a loser, but we are a democratic organization/ fraternity and one is entitled to his own views.But know this, we are talking about the same God, and shame on Barton for saying so.

I won't be a spoiler and tell what you need to know. BUT, I am 75 years old and never really understood what Freemasonry meant. Now I do. Never too old to be educated. Form your own opinion, but at least get the facts first! David Barton covers every detail of Freemasonry and you will walk away informed! You need to know. Excellent reading!

It has often been alleged that a great majority of America's Founding Fathers were Freemasons, and given the nature of Freemasonry that no Christian in good conscience could be one. David Barton reveals that the actual percentage of Freemasons among the Founding Fathers was quite low and many of these were not terribly committed to the movement. He also shows that Christianity and Freemasonry were actually quite compatible in the 1700's and that Freemasonry has changed dramatically since the early 1800's.

This book clears up a lot of questions according to its title. Among other things it explains the drastic change Freemasonry has gone through in the eighteenhundreds moving from a referent fear of the one true Creator of the Universe (YHVH) to serving Lucifer. Lots of references are backing up David Barton's documentation.
