The Babylon Connection
Ralph WoodrowPaperback 1997-03-01
The Babylon Connection? shows that claims about Babylonian origins often lack connection, and takes a closer look at the oft-quoted The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop, providing some much needed clarification on this subject.
As it turns out, prayerful, conscientious research has shown Hislop's work to contain serious flaws, where imaginative links between unrelated pieces of mythology and symbolism have led to highly questionable conclusions. The Babylon Connection? seeks not to discredit Hislop, but to obtain a biblically balanced perspective on the issues his book raises.
Was Nimrod a deformed, ugly black man, married to Semiramis, a beautiful white woman with blue eyes and blond hair? Was Semiramis the originator of soprano singing and priestly celibacy? Was she the mother of Tammuz? Is the cross a symbol of Tammuz? Are round communion wafers sun-symbols?
Are candles, black clergy garments, the letters I.H.S., the fish symbol, halos, and church steeples of pagan origin? Does the Pope wear a crown with 666 on it? Was the papal mitre copied from the fishhead of Dagon? Does the Book of Revelation describe the Roman Catholic Church as "Mystery Babylon"? The Babylon Connection? offers carefully researched answers to these questions and more.
