[Note: my comments have been added to this edition in red type. I include here a brief synopsis:

Modern Babylon (Rev. 17:5) is the Roman Catholic Church.

Where did the practices and beliefs of Roman Catholicism come from? In this scholarly classic, first published over eighty years ago, 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.

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.—J. Lange, Editor.]
