The search for the real historical person known as John the Baptist and the traditions that began with him Explores why John the Baptist is so crucially important to the Freemasons, who were originally known as St. Johns Men Reveals how John and Jesus were equal partners and shared a common spiritual vision to rebuild Israel and overcome corruption in the Temple of Jerusalem Explains the connections between John as lord of the summer solstice, his mysterious severed head, fertility rites, and ancient Jewish harvest festivalsFew Freemasons today understand why the most significant date in the Masonic calendar is June 24ththe Feast of the Birth of St. John the Baptist and the traditional date for appointing Grand Masters. Nor do many of them know that Masons used to be known as St. Johns Men or that John the Baptist was fundamental to the original Masonic philosophy of personal transformation.Starting with the mystery of John in Freemasonry, Tobias Churton searches out the historical Baptist through the gospels and ancient histories, unearthing the real story behind the figure lauded by Jesuss words no greater man was ever born of woman. He investigates Johns links with the Essenes and the Gnostics, links that flourish to this day. Exposing how the apostle Paul challenged Johns following, twisting his message and creating the image of John as merely a herald of Jesus, the author shows how Paul may have been behind the executions of both John and Jesus and reveals a precise date for the crucifixion and the astonishing meaning of the phrase the third day. He examines the significance of Johns severed head to holy knights, such as the Knights Templar, and of Leonardos famous painting of John. Churton also explains connections between John, the summer solstice, fertility rites, and ancient Jewish harvest festivals.Revealing John as a courageous, revolutionary figure as vital to the origins of Christianity as his cousin Jesus himself, Churton shows how John and Jesus, as equal partners, launched a covert spiritual operation to overcome corruption in the Temple of Jerusalem, reinitiate Israel, and resurrect Creation.
