This weekend I read Dan Brown's new bestseller "The Lost Symbol". A friend loaned it to me several weeks ago and I finally had time to sit and just read. It made for a lazy, but enjoyable weekend.
Like his previous novel "The DaVinci Code", this one was a bit of a thriller slash history text slash who-done-it. It sucked me right in.
The hook in this story was the anchient secrets held by the Masonic society. That made me curious, as my family had some masons in it--and apparently little was spoken of about it.
The really curious thing, however, wasn't so much the secretive Masonic side of things, but the similarities to what Masons believe and what I understand of the Gospel. There are several things that at the surface level agree--many do not, but I was intrigued by the handful of coincidental similarities. Set all this in the backdrop of Washington DC and I am into it.
If anyone else reads this, let me know. I'd like to chat about it with you. Like all of you have oodles of time on your hands and can just sit around being otherwise lazy to read the latest bestseller. Am I right?
