{"product_id":"the-royal-arch-journey","title":"The Royal Arch Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy Neville Barker Cryer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn this volume, the author draws on his many years of research into the topic to present an analysis of the history of the Royal Arch, its origins and development, and its place in the present-day Masonic tradition. His findings may prove controversial for some as he goes back to its origins in the 18th century but all readers will find this book presents a fascinating and compelling argument. The book has two objectives: to tell the story of how the degree, later known as the Order, of the Holy Royal Arch in England emerged and developed. The other is to show, through that story, why the Royal Arch is essential to the Speculative Craftsmen and has always been regarded by many as the culmination of Freemasonry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn this journey, you will be able to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDiscover the unexpected source from which the wisdom and teaching of this ceremony were first derived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRead the whole story of the Royal Arch Degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLearn about the evolution of the Royal Arch Regalia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStudy the evidence that the Royal Arch was long considered the summum bonum or the highest point of Freemasonry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFind out when the degree appeared in England and what the first chapters were.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChapters include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack the Source; The Traces of the Degree\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Emergence of a Ceremony; first Examples of an Order\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Appearance of a Supreme Grand Chapter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eExamples of Later 18th Century Ceremonies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy Irish and Scottish Variations?
