This is in stark contrast to what is so often the case today, where strict boundaries between academic exegesis and theology, and both of these areas and writings usually classified as "devotional," are still all too evident.

The author has been helped in his researches by his friendship with a man who is an initiate of more than one secret society, and in one case an initiate of the highest level.Bonaventure's academic exegesis was by no means done in isolation from his theological and devotional concerns.

There have been many books on the subject, but, extraordinarily, no-one has really listened to what the secret societies themselves say.

Here for the first time is a complete history of the world, from the beginning of time to the present day, based on the beliefs and writings of the secret societies.
