Om bogen:
One of the most controversial religious works of the 19th century - an unrelenting critique of Roman Catholicism’s alleged pagan origins.
First published as a pamphlet in 1853 and later expanded into a full-length book, The Two Babylons by Scottish minister Alexander Hislop presents a provocative thesis: that the Roman Catholic Church is not an outgrowth of Biblical Christianity, but rather a religious system rooted in ancient Babylonian mystery cults. Hislop meticulously links Catholic doctrines and rituals to ancient pagan practices, arguing that the modern Church perpetuates the worship of Semiramis and Nimrod under a Christian guise.
Hislop’s work draws upon comparative religion, ancient mythologies, and Church history to support his claims, framing the Roman system as a disguised continuation of Babylonian idolatry. Though highly controversial and widely critiqued, the book remains a reference point in Protestant polemics and is frequently cited in debates over the authenticity and origins of Christian traditions.
A must-read for students of theology, Church history, or comparative religion, The Two Babylons challenges readers to examine longstanding assumptions about Christian doctrine, symbolism, and ecclesiastical authority. Whether approached as a serious historical investigation or as a passionate theological rebuttal, Hislop’s work is bound to provoke thought and inspire further research.
The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop is a seminal work of historical and theological investigation, exploring the connections between ancient Babylonian religion and various Christian traditions. First published in the 19th century, this book has intrigued readers with its detailed arguments and compelling research.
