Synopsis
Freemasonry: Its Two Great Doctrines, The Existence of God and A Future State is a book written by Chalmers I. Paton. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the two fundamental doctrines of Freemasonry, namely the belief in the existence of God and the concept of a future state. Paton explores the historical origins of these doctrines and their significance in the context of Freemasonry. He delves into the various interpretations of these doctrines and their role in shaping the beliefs and practices of Freemasons across the world. The book also examines the relationship between Freemasonry and religion, and the ways in which the two intersect. Paton's work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the role of religion in modern society.1878. The author was induced to prepare the present work for publication because it is a notable fact that at the present time many of the most dangerous assaults against Christianity are directed against the first truths of the existence of God and of a future state. The truth of this statement made is sufficiently well known to all educated and intelligent men. A melancholy fact it is that men boastful of their attainments in science and philosophy should seek to degrade themselves and all mankind to a mere highest place among brutes. What the moral effects would be if their teaching should prevail amongst the masses of mankind, history afford evidence in its darkest and most terrible passages. Paton sought to oppose their error by direct evidence of the truth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
