You may be surprised to learn that many traditions of Roman Catholicism in fact don't come from Christ's teachings but from an ancient Babylonian ?Mystery? religion that was centered on Nimrod, his wife Semiramis, and a child Tammuz. This book shows how this ancient religion transformed itself as it incorporated Christ into its teachings. You may be surprised that certain practices like confessions, and crossing ones self, and even the position of the Pope come from traditions of this mystery cult… (més)

Alexander Hislop reveals that many Roman Catholic teachings did not originate with Christ or the Bible, but were adopted from ancient pagan Babylonian religion, and given Christian names.Although difficult reading, this book accurately provides a fascinating historical in-depth examination of the shocking similarities between the practices of ancient Babylonian religion and those of today's Roman Catholic church.

A quick perusal of online reviews reveals the hilarious fact that there are 21st-century Protestants who take this book to be an effective indictment of Roman Catholicism! Certainly that is what author Hislop intended.

Thelemites, by contrast, consider that the text -- to the quite incomplete extent that it is true -- reflects positively on the modern Roman custodianship of ancient traditions. Rather than a sinister conspiracy to perpetuate the alleged villainy of ancient Babylon, the many centuries of cultural and organizational development of traditional Christian rites and churches have organically incorporated the religious lives of communities which they have conquered and/or absorbed, integrating them into a Christianity which was ab origine a synthesis of Hellenistic, Hebrew, and other ancient traditions, and never as innovative as its proponents have insisted.

This book may possibly have been a persuasive influence on the occultist Charles Stansfeld Jones (Frater Achad) in his adult conversion to Catholicism.

A fantastic read. Many indisputable elements, though erroneous at times: Some of the research is bad, but still the assertions must be assessed through reason, not on the character of the author or any other citation.

A little conspiratorial, but many of the dots shall connect if any reasonable man finds himself questioning the traditional dictates of Christianity as a whole. ( )

This book was endorsed by mainline protestant theologians upon publication; many would not endorse this book now. I believe the book uses faulty historical data and draws bizarre conclusions not supported by scripture. While this book provided much fodder during non-ecumenical times its current value is limited - at best- if not worthless. ( )

NO OF PAGES: 330 SUB CAT I: Paganism SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: The author of "The Two Babylons" demonstrates that almost all of the practices of the Roman cult have been brought over from paganism. When we come to see that the worship (or veneration) of the Virgin Mary is really the worship of Venus, Astarte, and that it comes from Babylon, the center of the system is revealed to be Satanic. This amazing volume proves the Papal worship to be actually the worship of Nimrod and his wife, complete in every detail. Rome is in very deed the Babylon of the Apocalypse; the grand objects of her worship, her festivals, her doctrine and discipline, her rites and ceremonies, her priesthood and their orders, have all been derived from ancient Babylon.NOTES: SUBTITLE: The worship of Nimrod and his wife
