The Two Babylons or The Papal Worship (Proved to be… von Rev. Alexander Hislop
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.… (mehr)

paradoxosalpha | 6 weitere Rezensionen | May 22, 2015 | 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.
