This book is a fairly scholarly attempt to reconcile ancient Templar lore to modern sensibilities. It is lucid, easy to read, and would be of interest to a newcomer to Templar studies and Crusade literature as well as to those who are already familiar with such works. Another book I've enjoyed that connects historic Templar tradition to present-day Freemasonry is THE TEMPLE AND THE LODGE by Baigent & Leigh. The Baigent & Leigh book is so high-interest that it's almost like a mystery novel. I'd have to say that Delaforge is next on my list as a favorite Templar scholar and writer.
