Templars
Templars: History and Myth: From Solomon's Temple to the Freemasons | Michael Haag
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
An order of warrior monks founded to protect pilgrims to Jerusalem, the Templars were among the wealthiest and most powerful bodies in the medieval world. Yet two centuries later, they were arrested, accused of blasphemy, heresy and orgies, and their leaders were burnt at the stake. Part guide, part history, this book investigates the Templar legends and legacy - from the mysteries of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, via nineteenth century development of the Freemasons, through to Templar appearances in Dan Brown and Indiana Jones. This book explains the whole context of Templar history, including the recent evidence discovered by the Vatican that the Templars were not guilty of heresy. It also features a guide to Templar castles and sites.

I really enjoyed this book, there was lots of little things I didn't know that I learned from here, including that I grew up near a well known Templar site unbeknownst to me. It's given me lots of places to go and visit in the future. I would recommend as a good starting point to anyone who wants to learn about the Templars but doesn't want anything too heavy.

Harper Collins sent me an email about joining Bookperk. Reviews in App Store are not good, but what the heck. Free book. I chose The Templars and while I'm not reading the book. I did just open it in the app. Spent a few minutes leaving the app open, flipped pages, bumped up the text size. All seems copacetic. Anyone else giving this a go?

DogMomIrene @Desha Hi. Sorry for my delay in responding. I have not been on since Tuesday night I think.🤔 I haven't started reading The Templar book, so I can't speak to writing or quality of app experience. But I have found some other great book deals through the Bookperks email they send M-F, I think. Includes options to buy on Kindle and other platforms. 8y
Desha Thank you! I'll just have to give it a try and see! I did choose the Templars! 😜☺️ 8y
