The author gives a scholarly presentation of the intersection between these two groups. Everything is exhaustively documented and referenced. I would recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in the topic and caution them to leave their preconceptions at the door because there is so much more to understand.8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The end of my whiskey and cinnamon baths.By M. ThompsonI've wondered why DC 89 talks about strong drinks as being for the washing of bodies. After reading this book; I've stopped bathing in whiskey; realizing now that it was a ceremonial practice. Nobody told me that! :)I've loved learning about the source of some of the practices and beliefs that have been a part of every day of my life. This is a very well-researched and structured book. I had to take the first couple of chapters in smaller bites and re-read to make sure I was understanding things correctly.29 of 29 people found the following review helpful. Essential reading in the subjectBy Dallas B. RobbinsGreat study on the relationship between Mormonism and Masonry. There will be details here and there that other scholars will disagree with; but this work is well written; not overwrought or bogged down in minutia; engages counter arguments; and is detailed and thorough enough for the specialist or general reader. Probably not for a Mormon who is not well read in Mormon history - would certainly be a shock to one who knows little on the subject. But Homer's work provides the essential text on the subject and provides a great beginning point for further study in this area.
