Alexander Hislop
 |
Alexander Hislop was a Free Church of Scotland minister who was famous for his outspoken criticism of the Roman Catholic Churches. His father was a mason and elder of the Relief Church. His brother was a missionary to India. Alexander was born at Duns, Berwicksire, Scotland in February, 1809 and died in Arbroath, March 13, 1865. He was a parish schoolmaster originally, and married Jane Pearson in 1831. They had six children: five girls then a boy. He also edited the Scottish Guardian newspaper. In 1843 he joined the Free Church of Scotland and was ordained in 1844. He became a senior minister in 1864 and having been ill for two years died of a paralyzing stroke. He wrote several books, and his research on Catholicism has withstood the constant and continual assault of those who do not want to accept the message. His work remains an important and valuable insight into the adoption of heathenism into “Christian Churches” and so challenges every true believer to “come out from among them and be separate, saith the Lord!” Alexander Hislop was loved by those who know him and captivated their interest with his wit and conversational abilities. He was generous and unselfish by nature. He took interest in improving the housing of the worker, as well as their spiritual and moral nature. |

Two Babylons exposes some of the facts that prove Roman Catholicism is from Ancient Babylon. It references classic works of those who are experts in heathen idolatry and shows how the names, idols and practices of this Babylon, Egypt and other ancient lands have been wholly incorporated into the Roman Catholic Church.
