what is the difference in the kjv masonic bible and the kelchner mason bible?
I'm looking into buying a mason bible as a Christmas gift.I would like to find the best one for my freemason boyfriend. I've found master mason bible , family heirloom mason bibles and kelchner mason bibles. what is the differences in them and which would make the best gift?
I have only seen the KJV used in Lodges. However it is possible that the other Bibles are used.
I don't think there is much difference except in the name as very little is known about Dr. Kelchner.
We do know that one newspaper article refers to him being of “Pennsylvania Dutch stock,” Further study show the his “Doctorate” was more likely honorary, bestowed on him at some time in the 1930’s, as previous to that time he was addressed in correspondence as “Mr.”
According to research through “Ancestry.com”, there is on record a John Wesley Kelchner born in 1843 in Lebanon, PA. An article from “The Northern Light”, a Freemasonry magazine dated; August 1993, vol. 24 No. 3, the article entitled: “Solomon’s Temple in America?”states:At the beginning of this century, Dr. Kelchner spent approximately 30 years of intensive study determining the exact specifications and designs for the temple on Mount Moriah.
In his studies, Kelchner drew upon biblical and archaeological, evidence while he taught himself Hebrew, Latin, and Greek so that he could read documents related to the temple in their original languages.
In another article from “The World Magazine” January 23, 1927, title of the article: “Palestine invokes modern builders to restore King Solomon’s Temple-cost $50,000,000” reads:
Dr. John Wesley Kelchner, noted Biblical student and lecturer, who spent thirty years of his life correlating and checking the biblical allusions to the temple, and who at last assembled every bit of information which architects considered necessary to draw, or redraw, the temple plans-much as they would draw plans for a modern New York skyscraper.
His groundwork thus accomplished, Dr. Kelchner undertook to translate his findings into modern architectural prints. The results of this work was truly astounding.
In 1926, at the request of the Committee on Social and Educational Service of the Grand Lodge of New York, the A. J. Holman Comp-any of Philadelphia produced a Masonic bible featuring Kelchner”s images of the temple and tabernacle.
The content of the Bible that was produced seems to be the KJV with Kelchners drawings and calculations added to the preface.
