The wide use of symbols in Freemasonry is the characteristic that distinguishes it from all other organizations. Masonic teachings and ceremonies in our lodges and in our appendant bodies utilize various things and ideas as symbols to teach basic moral truths. The author examines the use of symbols in Freemasonry. Chapters include a look at symbolism in the Bible, Heraldy, Religious Art as well as the Seven Lideral Arts and Sciences. An interesting short chapter examines the symbolism of gloves, rarely mentioned in other books.
