Product Description
Product Description
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

From the Back Cover
Where did the practices and beliefs of Roman Catholicism come from? In this scholarly classic, first published over eighty years ago, 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.

Hislops "Two Babylons" is a product of a bygone age but is still SO relevant.His honest approach to many false doctrines and beliefs of the Catholic and Protestant churches ,showing their origins to be steeped in Paganism ,is a must for all truth seekers.Read this and see just how far removed from the real message of the Bible mainstream Religion has become .Truly ,still a masterpiece.

Fantastic service and a great book into the bargain.
Captivating
Heavy going bit a great reference work on the worlds religious customs and their origins.
Not biased to a religion very balanced and informative.

The reviewer who commented on the "bad print" referred to a completely different edition but Amazon.co.uk put his comment here. This edition has no such problem --- it is absolutely perfect. As for the content of this book --- there is little to be said --- everyone should know that this is a standard scholarly work on the history and origins of the Church. Not just Roman Catholic but any denomination. The Russian translation of this book is distributed on my site.

Very Revealing

Controversial, but essential for the serious Bible student
Hislop's work, now over 100 years old, is still the best starting point for studying comparative religion. Read more
