An eyeopening look at behind-the-scenes hypocracy. April 16, 1999 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
Dave takes a detailed, educated look at the truth behind one of the greatest "false religions" of our day. This book is sure to anger many of those who have a limited background and knowledge of the Bible, both Catholic and non-Catholic's alike.
The most informative book I've ever read June 1, 1999 44 out of 61 found this review helpful
As with many of his other books, Dave Hunt has managed to translate confusing Bible prophecy into everyday language that all can understand. This book deals with Revelation chapter 17 and the Woman (Roman-Catholic church) riding the Beast (Antichrist). While at first glance, this may seem like a stretch, one need only to read the first few chapters to see the absolute truth of this conclusion. Hunt backs up everything he writes with Scripture references and famous historians, even many Catholic church historians as well. This is a fantastic book and the information found in it is invaluable. A must read for any Christian or Catholic. While most Catholics may be offended at what this book proves, anyone reading it with an open mind will be astounded at the deception that is taking place in this world. If I could give it 50 stars, I would.
An excellent book despite the inevitable attacks against it January 15, 2000 32 out of 44 found this review helpful
This is a well written and well researched book. However, a book of this nature will naturally attract vehement and vitriolic attacks against it by catholic apologists. I noted all of the reviews here that attacked this book and these were all very emotional (and understandable from a Catholic point of view), but I see no one refuting his sources. In fact, Mr Hunt takes pains to use Catholic historians (such as de Rosa, Keating, Kung, etc) as a vast majority of his sources. All of the historical information presented in this book are a matter of plain public record and his footnotes and references are exhaustive. For example, the Crusades and the inquisition happened. Thousands of books have been written on this subject. We're still living with this legacy in many parts of this world. It may no longer be politically correct to talk about it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I'm thankful to Mr Hunt that he had the courage to write a book that he knew would bring a plethora of attacks on himself. I'm also thankful that he was diligent enough with his references so that his readers could verify his information on their own. 'Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?' (Galatians 4:16)
Extensively well researched, analytical presentation September 13, 1999 20 out of 27 found this review helpful
I was greatly impressed by the clarity of the author's presentation of a wealth of information regarding Catholicism's history and teachings. Wide variety use of original source material, in a highly professional manner. May go over the heads of some, with some complex sentence structure formations and debate progressions, but MUST be regarded as a highly polished work in content. The generation of hate/love reviews clearly speaks to the controversial topic....not a fault in the author's presentation. As a self-considered "impartial" audience, I HIGHLY recommend this work WITHOUT RESERVATION.
Excellent History Book of the Roman Catholic Church May 18, 2002 Pastor Roger (Chicago, USA) 41 out of 57 found this review helpful
During the summer of 1998, I read this book while on a missionary trip down in Haiti. At that time, I was a Catholic and had been for over 3 years. Mind you, I wasn't born and raised Catholic. However, I wish I'd read this book before I'd converted to Catholicism. This book covers much of the dark History of the Roman Catholic Church. Many people out there disagree with its contents. However, if you look at teh footnotes, you'll find that David Hunt used many sources, among them national files from countries around the world where the Catholic Church has had a strong presence. Now, if Catholics wanted to, they could try and prove David Hunt wrong and open the Catholic files in Rome for all to see. Are you surprised as to why they haven't? I'm not. For Protestants, this book is good because David Hunt also exposes the doctrines that divid Protestants & Catholics. I was ignorant of many Protestant & Catholic beliefs until I read this book. In doing so, it forced me to dig deeper into my Bible to find out what the truth really was. This book helped me in leaving the Catholic Church and has helped me to embrace my evangelical roots. This, in turn, eventually drew me closer to Christ. I'd recommend this book to all Protestants, Catholics, and those that are thinking about becoming Catholic. One lat suggestion-before you rread this book, open your Bible and read Revelation Chapters 17 & 18. Keep that spot marked as you read this book. Trust me, you'll make some startling discoveries!
