Dave Hunt has done a servicable job of presenting his view that the "Woman" of Revelations is the catholic church and her hierarchy in Rome. Had he not tried to be as inclusive of counterarguments and had written more succintly only on the major chapter headings,the book would have had more cohesiveness. Catholics will be so threatened by the assault on their belief systems that they will "trash" this book without exploring the validity of its main points. As an ex-catholic who spent years learning catholic doctrine but who came to know God and the grace of Jesus as my personal savior only after reading the Bible, the antitheses of catholic doctrine and Biblical Word as presented in the book are both accurate and undeniable. I cannot attest to every reference but can attest to the accuracy of the main points presented when Biblical word and catholic doctrine are opposed and compared. Those who would be so threatened as not to contrast the two from as neutral and nonpersonal a point as possible would miss the benefit of the arguments put forth in the text. A difficult but enlightening read for the Christian non-catholic and a distressing but possibly life changing read for the catholic who can objectively and undefensively read the text and concommitantly read a copy of the Bible. (I recommend The New Living Version for modern syntax but original Biblical accuracy and intent.) The text contrasts faith in God through Biblical understanding and acceptance of Jesus as a personal savior, the faith of a protestant, and catholic faith, faith as good works,indulgences and purgatory mediated through Mary and administered by the church in Rome and its designees.
