This Bibliography was prepared in part for Character
Counts: Gauntlet to SBC’s Best, Not to U.S.A.’s Founders which corrected
some anti-Mason deceptive malignance in the SBC reports and elsewhere. He is
not an authority on Freemasonry and more of a Universalist. He is one prime
example of a man applying Freemasonry to his own personal faith, whatever that
particular of Hall’s might be. Hall has done more research on the occult and
secret religious rituals than anyone—it seems—in the history of humanity. He
appears fixated upon the occult and mastery of everything religiously arcane,
much like Robert Leroy Ripley became upon strange human oddities in his Ripley’s
Believe or Not fame and franchises.[1] The following
pertain to Freemasonry and a couple of his other works. It is regrettable that
some Christian anti-Masons, mostly, have latched onto Hall without even
noticing his obsession with the philosophy of the occult.
