The Two Babylons was an anti-Catholic religious pamphlet produced
initially by the Scottish theologian and Protestant Presbyterian
Alexander Hislop in 1853. It was later expanded in 1858 and finally
published as a book in 1919. Its central theme is its allegation
that the Roman Catholic Church is a veiled continuation of the
pagan religion of Babylon, the veiled paganism being the product of
a millennia old conspiracy.
Alexander Hislop's memorable work, wherein he theorizes that the
Catholic church is a covert continuation of the ancient Babylonian
belief systems, offers a colorful interpretation of pagan
traditions. This edition includes the original drawings. From the
outset, Hislop claims to have unearthed proof that the papal office
is a refined, veiled presentation of Babylonian worship.
Specifically, the hunter Nimrod and his wife are the actual
influencer of Catholicism, rather than Christ and Christian
beliefs. In support of his hypothesis, Hislop attaches more than
sixty drawings comparing Babylonian idols and aesthetics with those
adopted by the Catholic creed - these, say Hislop, prove that the
church is not an authentic organization which supports God or
Jehovah, but a systematically pagan outfit. Today, Hislop's claims
are generally considered as lacking in value or veracity by most
scholars and theologians, with Hislop's interpretations of
Babylonian culture and lore dismissed as inaccurate and fanciful.
