Following the model of his bestselling Forbidden
History, J. Douglas Kenyon has assembled from his bi-monthly
journal Atlantis Rising material that explores the hidden path of the
religions banned by the orthodox Church--from the time before Christ
when the foundations of Christianity were being laid to the tumultuous
times of the Cathars and Templars and the Masons of the New World.
Revealed in this investigation of the roots of Western faith are the
intimate ties of ancient Egyptian religion to Christianity, the true
identities of the three magi, the link forged by the Templars between
early Christianity and the Masons, and how these hidden religious
currents still influence the modern world.
This book serves as a compelling introduction to the true history of
the heretical religious traditions that played as vital a role in
society as the established faiths that continuously tried to suppress
them. Born in the same religious ferment that gave birth to
Christianity, these spiritual paths survived in the
“heresies” of the Middle Ages, and in the theories
of the great Renaissance thinkers and their successors, such as Isaac
Newton and Giordano Bruno. Brought to the New World by the Masons who
inspired the American Revolution, the influence of these forbidden
religions can be still found today in “The Star Spangled
Banner” and in such Masonic symbols as the pyramid on the
back of the dollar bill.
