 An accurate stern warning to the Vatican and to Catholics: Read your Bible! April 7, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Although this book is a bit tedious, the message that it contains is critical if you are a Catholic christian or at all involved in the Roman Catholic church. The info in Dave Hunt's book is also available in video lecture format. Watching this relatively short video will give you most of the info that this book contains. This book compliments the video nicely.
 The Beast-rider exposed. March 30, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
In Dave Hunt's book he exposes who the woman is that rides the beast in Revelation.
The identity ties in directly with the metamorphosis of the early "church".
He is accurate when he states that Roman Catholicism has always been what Constantine (the Great sun worshipper) blended-early Christianity and paganism. Right down to the "Queen of Heaven" who was worshipped in pagan cults before the Catholic Church called her "Mary".
His investigation into the source of the RCC's vast riches was quite interesting.
Some factual food for thought a reader will glean from "A Woman Rides the Beast":
"Peter whom the Catholics erroneously claim was the first pope was married". Page 77. See I Cor.9:5.
Catholic writers claim "Babylon" means Rome. From Karl Keating;"Babylon is a code word for Rome". Page 68.
Papal violation of I Peter 5:1-3. A shepherd of the flock is not to "lord" over the flock.
Mr. Hunt gives some details of the papal involvement in the Inquisitions(See "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" for more detailed coverage of the subject)as well as the pope's concordats in the WWII period.
The real motivation for infant baptism/sprinkling.
This book is documented and a lot of the souces for quotes are from Catholic apologists!!!
One topic that has far-reaching negative effects on the Catholic Church is celibacy. This all too often means not abstaining from sex, but rather refraining from marriage.
The source of the problems with RCC (and I could argue other denominations as well)is summed up by the author very well on page 184. "Christians had not used images untill Constantine became the de-facto head of the church. The door that was opened to paganism at that time has never been shut. The church attempted to accomodate the pagans joining it by retaining their idols under Christian names".
"When it's tradition and the Bible conflict,Rome goes by tradition."
It's all about traditions of man and the church. Page 347.
I personally believe that Dave Hunt has the woman from Revelation 17 & 18 identified accurately and in more ways than one. A fascinating read and I highly recommend it.
RCC History Exposed March 21, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Dave Hunt has definitely raised a few eyebrows and exposed a lot of skeletons with this book. It's sure to make Roman Catholics angry by exposing to the Light what they would rather not have exposed. Darkness never likes the light. Just as groups like LDS and JW's have tried to alter their histories to hide the truth the RCC has been playing the same game but Dave Hunt is onto them and leaves no stone unturned to bring it out into the light of day. Just as he did to Protestants in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEAVEN Dave has pulled out the stops and let's the chips fall where they may (figuratively speaking). We love you Dave and we love your honest straight forward writing, this book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
 Playing upon fears that are unfounded March 4, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Having studied church history and writings quite a bit, it doesn't take much before you realize how off Dave Hunt's view in this book are. Even a cursory study of relevant history would undercut his premise. It's a sad commentary that such a book has any notoriety at all. There are some great books out there that draw important distinctions between Catholicism and Protestantism on key doctrinal issues without resorting to this kind of nonsense.
Don't waste your time. If there was a "zero stars" option, I would have chosen it.
 Riveting! But..... February 13, 2008

We all know that the Catholic Church has had some issues. Any institution run by sinful human beings isn't going to be without problems.
I've read both "A Woman Rides the Beast" and Karl Keating's "Catholicism & Fundamentalism" and while none of can know for absolute sure, I feel confident that Dave Hunt's work is a very well assembled rehash of anti-catholic myths that have been around for centuries. While Dave Hunt's motives are pure, I just think he is wrong. Keating has a rock solid refutiation for each accusation aimed at the Catholic Church.
Would a loving God let good people burn forever in the fires of Hell because they got "tricked" by a fake church? Read them both and you'll discover where Dave Hunt misses the mark on nearly every single point.
