Robbins was able to find and interview scores of “Bonesmen” as they are called, who were willing to describe the rituals.Īfter reading the book, I prayed on whether I should write about the actual meaning of this ritual, specifically the meaning of one word, well-known to students of New Testament Greek: “eulogia.” (“Bonesmen” are called Knights of Eulogia.) Ultimately, I felt the message to speak of it, particularly to those of us who safekeep the Christian tradition in these dark times, because we need this information to properly evaluate other matters of great concern about the President.

He was forgiven of that when he accepted Christ.” The disturbing fact, however, is that President Bush’s statement came many years after he announced he had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. I was honored.” Inevitably some people, knowing the Skull and Bones reputation of blasphemy, were surprised that the President said he was “honored.” Others, particularly Christians defended him saying, in effect, “Let’s put this aside.
President Bush responded, “No qualms at all. Time Magazine asked if it troubled him that he had been initiated into the Society when he was a young man.
