What other christian and particularly Protestant scholars refute Hislop? Hislop where he is wrong then where is he right in his book? Is Mr Woodrow decrying all of Hislop's work or some of it? Where does Mr Woodrow stand?
I note many RC web sites glowingly praise Mr Woodrow's The babylonian connection whilst battering Hislop. Now methinks we should ask others for their counsel before we make a hasty conclusion-I will give it a try!

Q: Does the gospel need gimmicks and props. I note a number of Reformed sites who use puppets in evangelism. Possibly AIG and Ray Comfort's ministry too?

Having a conversation about Sola Scriptura, Spurgeon, Whitefield and revival. Where were the puppets? If Christ today walked the streets of England would he seek to be more relevant to the children of the 21st century with a glove puppet? Paul? Knox? Calvin? Obviously the Scriptures are the only authority on how we should evangelise-even how to evangelise little children-maybe they are not sufficient today without Kermit the frog ? And we wonder why there are few conversions in England-are we really preaching the gospel? Stand today solemnly at Calvary and look-the cross-Him Crucified
