E-raamat: Lost Word Its Hidden Meaning: A Correlation of the Allegory and Symbolism of the Bible with That of Freemasonry

The Lost Word: Its Hidden Meaning by George H. Steinmetz is one of the most profound explorations ever written on the hidden connections between Biblical allegory and Masonic symbolism. First published in 1948, this remarkable work bridges the worlds of religion, mysticism, and esoteric philosophy, offering readers a unified vision of spiritual truth concealed within the symbols of both the Holy Scriptures and the Masonic tradition.

Steinmetz, himself a dedicated student of Masonry and comparative religion, guides the reader through an illuminating journey of interpretation — from the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Israel to the spiritual architecture of Solomon's Temple. He reveals how Masonic rituals, far from being mere ceremony, express universal truths about the soul's quest for enlightenment, the divine nature of man, and the eternal search for the "Lost Word" — the ineffable name of God and the key to inner awakening.

Written in lucid, reverent prose, The Lost Word invites both the Mason and the spiritual seeker to look beyond the literal and into the symbolic, to rediscover the wisdom encoded in ancient allegory. Steinmetz correlates Biblical parables, Kabbalistic insight, and Masonic ritual into a single framework of moral and metaphysical development, showing how each mirrors the soul's ascent from ignorance to illumination.

 For readers fascinated by symbolism, sacred history, and the spiritual heritage of Western civilization, The Lost Word: Its Hidden Meaning remains a cornerstone of esoteric literature — a synthesis of philosophy, faith, and the perennial mystery of divine truth concealed within the Word itself.
