Author Description

A well-informed Mason is one who tried to improve himself in Masonry as he knows it, applying our generous principles to our lives. If we learn from the great intellectual ancestors, we improve ourselves tremendously as men and masons. Andy Albright has added to the possibility of improvement through his book "Masonic Comedia: Freemasonry and the Divine Comedy." In this well-considered book, Albright weaves a set of narratives linking Dante's "Divine Comedy" to masonic teachings in a practical way. If you have not read Dante, you will want to after reading Albright's book but will enter into that achievement well-informed and considering more than the simple story that some get from that monumental work. The faithful reader will also reflect more on the lessons he has learned and how they influence everyday life and thoughts of eternal salvation, regardless of that brother's faith tradition. - R.W.Bro.
