In his book Freemasonry and Catholicism Max Heindel cleverly exposes the cosmic facts underlying these two great institutions as determined by occult investigation. We shall endeavor to show the...

It is the object of this book to remove that scale and show the Cosmic purpose of these two Great Organizations, which are so bitterly antagonistic to each other. We do not aim to reconcile them,... More > however, for though they are both designed to farther the emancipation of the soul, their methods are different, and attributes of the soul fostered by one method will indeed be very different from the quality of the soul nurtured in the other school. Therefore the strife must continue until the battle for the souls of men has been lost and won. The issue is not, however, the persistence of the Masonic or Catholic institutions; but the outcome will determine the nature of the training humanity will receive in the remaining Periods of our evolution. We shall endeavor to show the cosmic root of both of these institutions, the purpose of each and the training which each will inaugurate, if successful ; also the nature of the soul quality which may be expected to result from each method.< Less
Monsignor Benson in this his last published work shows all the good qualities of those previously written by him. He is evidently master of the theological, philosophical, and historical questions... More > disputed among Christians. In thirteen short chapters, two of which are introductory, he discusses with the skill of an expert logician and with the absolute honesty and sincerity of a good Christian and an able scholar “the paradoxes of Catholicism”.
The book is small and never bores you. The writer shows that he is at home with every theme he discusses. His thought is direct, his logic strict, his words always elegant English, his whole style clear and plain. In some of his books he shows great powers of description and a fecund imagination; but in the “Paradoxes of Catholicism” imagination is not prominent, but a strong, direct intellect dominates every page. Toward the end he gives us a very good spiritual lesson on “The Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross”.< Less

The originality of this book lies in its identifying the main cause for the loss of faith by the children of convinced Christian parents. It is the absence of any specific structured... More > invitation to belief, in the ordinary programme of the mainstream Churches.
Children in Christian families do not acquire faith like their parents’ nationality. Yet most Churches act as if it comes that way.
Outsiders too are presented with no straightforward point of entry into those communities.
This book traces the origin of that debilitating situation, and offers a remedy which is nothing less than the radical re-structuring of the Churches’ institutions. In this context the ideological content of Christianity is explained covering every aspect, such as the inspiration of the bible, the sacramental system, Christian morality and personal immortality.< Less
