5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best Masonic book in Print, 22 Mar 2005
By Anton Temple (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Turning the Hiram Key: Making Darkness Visible (Hardcover)
I thought I understood Freemasonry. For me this book was a breath of fresh air. Suddenly everying clicked into place. It was so clear. I have learned much form this title. It is a must for any one interested in freemasonry.

I had read the authors other books with Christopher Knight and enjoyed them. I would say that this title is even better. If you liked the Hiram Key you really have to buy this book. It is so much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stepping out from the Shadows, 4 Jun 2006
By Tim Bentley (Shetland, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Turning the Hiram Key: Making Darkness Visible (Paperback)
"Turning the Hiram Key" is yet another fine offering from Dr Robert Lomas continuing his quest to uncover the reasons behind the rituals employed in Freemasonry and to seek a deeper understanding of what the Brethren are or were supposed to be about. In this tome, the first of his works published by Lewis Masonic, he considers the purpose and practice of the ritual from practical, scientific and then spiritual angles giving the reader an insight into what it actually feels like to be a Freemason.

The publication itself is presented in such a way as to be easy on the eye, and lends a flow in print to the thoroughly well crafted narrative. From a historic and Scientific viewpoint, Dr Lomas backs supposition and theory with hard evidence, and avoids the classic text book drone by relating to events and experiences of his own.

Personally, I was surprised to be able to learn so much from this work regarding Freemasonry and as a non-Mason with a view coloured perhaps by the typical prejudicial reportage that is normally associated with the secrecy and practice of Freemasonry, I find myself intrigued and wanting to learn more. Dr Lomas' book has opened my eyes to the other side of the argument and made Freemasonry far more accessible to the 'average joe'.

I await Robert Lomas' next book with the anticipation of surprise, wonder and fascination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Darkness Visible, 13 April 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Turning the Hiram Key: Making Darkness Visible (Hardcover)
I read this book out of pure curiosity. My father (now deceased)
was a Scottish Freemason and very secretive about all matters Masonic. When I started reading, it was with a vague feeling of being a child doing something forbidden. As I read this feeling was replaced with fascination. The more I read, the more I wanted to know. Robert Lomas is an educator who begins his story in a light-hearted way but develops it like the plot of a well-written thriller. The more I read, the more interested and curious I became.

This book not only changed my viewpoint of the purpose and ideals of masonry but gave me insights to understanding it's role in my father's life. The book is a blend of illuminating and mysterious that provokes thought about history, civilisation and the human condition. It provides a good read for Masons and Non-Masons alike as it raises profound questions about our humanity and life purpose.
