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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Semiramis to Mary, January 1, 2001

By A Customer

Excellent book tracing Nimrod's wife and son, who achieved deity status, through many world religions via the Babel confusion of tongues. Mr. Hislop demonstrates how the RCC adopted the Babylonian religion that it practices today. He also shows the pagan origins of the popular religious holidays celebrated by modern christendom.

5.0 out of 5 stars A History of Traditions., July 17, 2007

By	R. McRae (Saugus, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Two Babylons (Paperback)

When the Roman Catholic Church makes its traditions superior to scripture, and still under its latest pope declares all other Christian groups false in recent proclamations, who really are the "bigots" as other's have labeled this book? Where then do many of these uniquely unusual Catholic rituals originate? Certainly not the Bible. And if not the Bible, then give a more precise historical source. Even most Catholics would be surprised just how much of their church's background and practices have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. The major reason for the Reformation and the establishment of Protestantism. The only problem today is that most so called "Protestants", accept the handed down traditions over scripture as well.
