Morals and Dogma has been described as “ a collection of thirty-two essays which provide a philosophical rationale for the degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.

Although Morals and Dogma is an esoteric book, it was not a secret one ; Pike's original preface was clear that any Mason could own the book, but only Scottish Rite Masons would be encouraged to own one.

A copy of Morals and Dogma was given to every new member of the Southern Jurisdiction from the early 1900s until 1969 ( although some local Scottish Rite bodies offered copies through the mid 1970s ), when it was deemed " too advanced to be helpful to the new Scottish Rite member.

With the release of the authorized edition of 2011, Morals and Dogma is once more being given to new Scottish Rite Masons in the Southern Jurisdiction, and all restrictions on sales to the general public have been removed.

During Pike ’ s lifetime the Northern Jurisdiction based many of their degrees upon Pike ’ s rituals, although they subsequently revised them many times, and never presented initiates with Morals and Dogma, nor any of the subsequent commentaries.

After 1969 the copyright of Morals and Dogma was not renewed ; and, like many out-of-copyright works, it was reprinted many times by various publishers.

Titled Albert Pike ’ s Morals and Dogma: Annotated Edition, the work was prepared by Arturo de Hoyos, 33 °, G ∴ C ∴, K. Y. C. H., the Scottish Rite ’ s Grand Archivist and Grand Historian.
