The Two Babylons, Or the Papal Worship by Alexander Hislop

The Two Babylons, Or the Papal Worship by Alexander Hislop

Is Modern Babylon (Rev. 17:5) the Roman Catholic Church? Where did their practices, traditions and beliefs come from? In this scholarly classic, first published as a pamphlet in 1853 then greatly expanded in 1858, the late Alexander Hislop (1806-1865) reveals how most of the Christian rituals and trappings did not originate with Christ or the Bible, but were adopted from ancient pagan Babylonian religion, and given Christian names. Learn how Nimrod and his wife began a religion that has spread over the world and into virtually every religion, taking on many different names.

Alexander Hislop (1807-1865), a Free Church of Scotland preacher, was well-known for his harsh criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church. Stephen Hislop (died 1837), a mason by trade and a Relief Church elder, was his father. Stephen Hislop, Alexander's brother, was also a missionary to India and a naturalist throughout his lifetime (lived 1817-1863). Alexander was a parish schoolmaster in Wick, Caithness, for a period. He married Jane Pearson in 1831.

He was the editor of the Scottish Guardian newspaper at one point. At the Disruption of 1843, he joined the Free Church of Scotland as a probationer. In 1844, he was ordained at Arbroath's East Free Church, where he later became senior minister in 1864. After being ill for almost two years, he died of a paralytic stroke the following year.

He wrote several works, the most well-known of which is The Two Babylons: Papal Worship Exposed to be Nimrod and His Wife's Worship.
