Why has this book the term "pillar" in its title?
This is masonic vocabulary.
Just a couple of quotes from the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry by Albert Mackey:
"With Shemites and Mohammedans Adam was symbolized in the Lingam, whilst with the Jews Seth was their Adam or Lingam, and successively Noah took the place of Seth, and so followed Abraham and Moses . The worship of Adam as the God-like idea, succeeded by Seth, Noah, Abraham, and Moses, through the symbolism of pillars, monoliths, obelisks, or Matsebas (images), gave rise to other symbolic images, as where Noah was adored under the emblems of a man, ark, and serpent, signifying heat, fire, or passion."
(p.15 - Article on Adam)
"The legend goes on to inform us that after Enoch had completed the subterranean temple, fearing that the principles of those arts and sciences which he had cultivated with so much assiduity would be lost in that general destruction of which he had received a prophetic vision, he erected two pillars - the one of marble, to withstand the influence of fire, and the other of brass, to resist the action of water . On the pillar of brass he engraved the history of the creation, the principles of the arts and sciences, and the doctrines of Speculative Freemasonry as they were practised in his times - and on the one of marble he inscribed characters in hieroglyphics, importing that near the spot where they stood a
precious treasure was deposited in a subterranean vault."
(p.245 - Article about Enoch)
Additionally you will find a full article about the pillar, where is mentioned:
"The double pillars or columns, acting as an architectural support, were, it is true, symbols derived from a natural cause of strength and permanent firmness. But there was another more prevailing symbology. The monolith, or circular pillar, standing alone, was, to the ancient mind a representation of the Phallus, the symbol of the creative and generative energy of Deity, and it is in these Phallic pillars that we are to find the true origin of pillar worship, which was only one form of Phallic worship, the most predominant of all the cults to which the ancients were addicted." (p.591)
At least he must know the word pillar. And if he knows and would be opposed to what it stands for he probably wouldn't call a book like that...
It seems there is no alternative.
But to resist.
