A fully illustrated history of the Temple of Solomon, including many photos and images from rare archives.
The Temple of Solomon has been the focus of profound spiritual reverence for over three thousand years. From its Bronze Age antecedents in the portable shrines of nomadic tribes, through countless permutations in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the idea of the Temple of Solomon - a place of communion between God and man - has proven endlessly alluring.
The Temple of Solomon draws on holy texts and mystic writings, works of art and architecture, modern reconstructions, and photographs to reveal the myriad ways in which the Temple and the sacred ground on which it stood have inspired mankind through the ages. What did it actually look like? Why was it built? What happened in the Temple? Discover the answers to all of these questions and many more in this informative, fully illustrated guide to The Temple of Solomon.
JAMES WASSERMAN is the author of several books, including The Templars and the Assassins and The Secrets of Masonic Washington. A longtime student of the occult and a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis since 1976, he lives in New York City.
