Summary: Just don't believe it all.
Review: This book makes an interesting read, but I my jaw dropped when the authors dragged the Shroud of Turin into it. Also, the book is quite Anti-Catholic. There are bits and pieces of interesting research here, but they are put tohether with innuendoes, half-truths and downright lies to make a false and confusing picture.

Summary: A fascinating new insight into the history of the Freemasons
Review: This is one of the great key-stone books of the popular history/religion genre.The Hiram Key combines an interesting review of the history with some compelling theories, fascinating new ideas, and informed speculation. The book is essentially a review of the mysterious history of freemasonry in the light of information from ancient Egypt and Christian scripture. A revised version of historical events is proposed, and some intriguing solutions offered to some unanswered questions. The authors argue their points so confidently that the less sceptical reader might be convinced by everything they read. The purpose of this text is to present a new theory, rather than consider the opposing arguments. The reader should explore other sources for additional evidence to balance the author's arguments. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in secret societies, history, or religion - especially freemasonry, ancient Egypt, Christianity, or the knights templar. You'll enjoy reading this fascinating book and perhaps learn a little bit of history too.

Summary: Hiram key
Review: This not a Novel.Not Phsyco new age mumbo jumbo. It's New historic research with an excellent Gestalt! It is really about time we learned what is really going on around us besides all of the programed stuff fed to us by those in power which use the excuse that since they have done it this way for 2000 years it is a way of life and you would be robing them of funds or worse at the mere mention of the truth. : )

Summary: HIram key
Review: when i first bought the book i was prepared for some ridiculous arguements about christianity and christ. As i gradually read through the book i began to recognise the flaws in the bible that they had written about, yes it is the two writers points of view and they do say when they are speculating and not forcing there view. But i could not help but think they had found something remarkable, i found the book quite interesting, it was clearly written so the reader could understand, there theory in the beginning of the book was proven by there research, and along the way they delved furthur into the history of religion. Some may argue and say they didnt read the bible prior but they did it is written they that cross referenced and checked there quotes. They also had help from a church of england minister.
For anybody who is thinking about buying this book i would highly recommend it flows smoothly and doesnt confuse the reader with to much detail. This book shows there view which is supported by facts from history. An excellent book.
