Durante décadas, las parodias sobre los cultos siniestros y misteriosos han sido parte de los chistes favoritos de la cultura pop. Las fraternidades han sido ubicadas con frecuencia en ciertas guaridas subterráneas, vestidos con extravagantes hábitos ceremoniales y con la cara oculta por capuchas, sentados alrededor de una mesa larga llena de cálices horrendos, calaveras y brillantes tesoros tenebrosos. Desde un punto de vista más enfermizo, se pueden ver unas imágenes entrecortadas y destellantes de sangre, torturas y sacrificios. Como en todo arte, la creatividad es desencadenada por una fuente de inspiración, y una de las musas más ampliamente reconocidas de esta clase de escenas no es otra que los masones. Esta antigua sociedad, descendiente de la antigua cultura de la albañilería, se cree que conoce las más profundas, oscuras e inexplicables verdades del universo. Supuestamente poseen poderes místicos-y aún mágicos-como nadie más. Pero, ¿tiene alguna validez esta estigmatización de la fraternidad o es que simplemente han sido terriblemente incomprendidos? Como saben muchos, los masones han existido por siglos. El Renacimiento, que llegó a su máximo esplendor entre los siglos 14 y 16, vio un estallido de creatividad y de progreso en una variedad de formas de arte a través de Europa. El gremio de los albañiles experimentó cambios; los aprendices no se veían ya restringidos por el comercio. Una gran porción de esos aprendices eran artistas y librepensadores, pero seguían prometiendo adherencia a la tradicional cultura albañil. La nueva clase de albañiles se apartó de la albañilería "operativa" ortodoxa, y empezó a promover lo que se conoció como la albañilería "especulativa." Como la mayoría de las leyendas, todavía se discuten hoy en día los orígenes de la Masonería. La más antigua mención de la sociedad se remonta al Manuscrito Hallwell, o Poema Regio que supuestamente fue escrito entre finales del siglo 14 y principios del 15. El manuscrito, en exquisita caligrafía y en inglés antiguo, tenía 64 páginas y 794 versos. Es considerado el primero de los tradicionales manuscritos masónicos y es generalmente aceptado como la "verdadera" historia de los comienzos de la fraternidad. El poema empieza con Euclides, matemático griego del siglo 4° A.C., recordado hoy en día como "el padre de la geometría." Se dice que el genio matemático incorporó la geometría a un nuevo campo que él denominó "albañilería." Con esta nueva y refinada rama científica, viajó a Egipto y transmitió sus conocimientos a los hijos de los nobles egipcios. Cualesquiera que hayan sido los orígenes de la organización, el fenómeno incipiente se transformaría un día en la Sociedad de la Masonería, portadora de secretos divinos como ninguna otra, y una de las fraternidades más fascinantes y controvertidas en la historia de la humanidad. Los masones: Historia de la Masonería, la más famosa de las sociedades secretas, examina los orígenes y la historia de la polémica hermandad, su expansión a través del globo, y algunas de las más asombrosas teorías conspirativas que han rodeado a la sociedad hasta nuestros días. Junto con fotos de gente importante, de lugares y de eventos, usted aprenderá acerca de los Masones como nunca antes.

This brief and concise study of the Old Testament will cover, systematically, the history of the ancient world out of which our thirty-nine books of the Old Testament emerge. This Old Testament introduction deals with matters of language, customs, historical situations, persons, places, and events alluded to in the various books of the Bible. This examination will deal specifically with the Hebrew and Aramaic languages - the study of these languages will help one understand the Biblical meaning of these words in their context. This Biblical survey will examine the history of the Hebrew people, their pagan surroundings, and the religion and culture of the other non-Hebrew people groups. This survey will investigate the authorship of several books in the Old Testament Canon, because, the authorship reflects and relates to the reliability of the ancient text. This concise guide will examine the dates of some books of the Old Testament since the dates will clue us in on the cultural issues at that time related to the people of God. This survey will investigate the specific historical settings in which the authors spoke on God's behalf. Also, this examination of the Old Testament, will cover some facts about Textual Criticism. This methodology of recovering the Old Testament text to its pure original form, helps erase many transcription errors that have crept into our ancient texts. In addition to this, and lastly, this brief and concise study will look at the history of the transmission of the texts. We will investigate the way the original autographs were copied into other languages and various manuscripts families. Although by no means an exhaustive investigation, this survey will give one a brief and concise understanding of our Old Testament Bible.

Human or not, Jason1 may be just the right software to save the world. He's about to find out. Everyone thought the terrorist had completely destroyed the space station where the first faster-than-light spaceship was built. Actually, the survivors were implemented as softlife in the computers, and years later they and their virtual descendants live in a thriving but isolated community. Jason1, one of the few who used to be flesh and blood, doubts that this incorporeal existence really qualifies as life. But Iooi, a young native softlife, considers her kind an evolutionary step beyond biology, and three-dimensional space an annoying abstraction. A spaceship arrives, and the two of them stow away in its computer, intending to establish ties with the rest of humanity. But the ship's crew is evasive about why they came and what their plans are. And the experimental spacecraft, lost since the attack on the space station, has returned, carrying an unexpected threat the softlife may be uniquely qualified to fight. Working with other softlife, an old friend, and the intimidating Space Force general Heather Lacey, Jason1 must take on terrorists, truly malicious software, and his own self-doubts.
