What if the symbol of the Great Architect of the Universe could shed some light on atheist thought?

Going against the grain of dogma and certainty, this book offers the intimate, lucid and profoundly honest testimony of a rationalist Freemason confronted with one of the most emblematic - and most ambiguous - symbols of the initiatory tradition: the Great Architect of the Universe.

The author invites us on an inner journey of doubt, confrontation and openness, where spirituality and atheism are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually enriching. He explores the Great Architect of the Universe as a personal symbol, an ethical principle, an image of nature, or a representation of universal love, while questioning the profound meaning of Masonic commitment in a secularised society. A genuine exercise in free thought, as demanding as it is accessible.

This book is aimed as much at sisters and brothers committed to the Masonic way as at lay people curious about the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of an atheism that is both accepted and open. A work to ponder, which invites us to see in each symbol not a truth to be believed, but a mirror held up to our own quest for the essential.
