The Builders by Joseph Fort Newton

Description

The Builders is a book by Joseph Fort Newton, first published in 1914. It is a lyrical, scholarly exploration of Freemasonry’s roots, symbolism and moral teaching, combining historical survey with philosophical reflection: Newton traces hints of Masonic thought in ancient traditions, explains the craft’s working tools and rites, and argues for Masonry’s ethical and social ideals. The tone is devotional and interpretive rather than polemical, and the work has long been regarded as a classic introduction to Masonic ideas that influenced 20th-century readers and lodges seeking a humane, idealistic account of the fraternity.
