The Two Babylons
or The Papal Worship
Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod
and His Wife
By the Late Rev. Alexander Hislop
First published as a pamphlet in
1853— expanded in 1858
Rev. Hislop's work has lately been questioned, most
notably by Ralph Woodrow's book "The Babylon Connection"
(excerpts at http://users.clarkston.com./rcorson/2babylons.htm).
I have read that particular book and find it unconvincing and confusing in
its own right and still feel that "The Two Babylons'"
inclusion on this website is warranted as a scholarly work delving into
the area of error within the church (wherever it's found and from wherever
it came— ultimately IS Babylon). You will not get too far in your
research of church history without coming across references to this book
and that is the reason we have included it here— a reference work not
as something to be used to beat someone else over the head with (like some
use the Bible itself).
Please be advised of the controversial nature of this
work (besides the contentious title itself) and, like every other area of
study, check it out and prayerfully decide for yourself. research-bpr@philologos.org
