Publisher's Synopsis
The Modern Templar by Chalmers Lowell Pancoast is a book that delves into the history and philosophy of the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order that played a significant role in the Crusades. The author explores the origins of the order, its rise to power, and its eventual downfall, as well as the myths and legends that have grown up around the Templars over the centuries.However, the book is not simply a history of the Templars. Pancoast also draws on his own experiences as a member of the modern-day Templar Order, a spiritual organization that seeks to embody the virtues of the medieval knights in a contemporary context. He discusses the principles and practices of this modern order, including its commitment to chivalry, honor, and service to others.Throughout the book, Pancoast argues that the values and ideals of the Templars are still relevant today, and that we can learn much from their example. He makes a compelling case for the importance of living a life of purpose and meaning, and for embracing the virtues of courage, compassion, and selflessness.Overall, The Modern Templar is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that will appeal to anyone interested in history, spirituality, and personal growth. Whether you are a student of the Templars or simply looking for guidance on how to live a more fulfilling life, this book is sure to leave a lasting impression.1932.
