Christmas Edition - Beautifully Illustrated!
The new expanded second edition - detailed, and comprehensive.
New Material: A section addressing alternative theories; new chapters exploring the 15th year of Tiberius' reign, the birth of John the Baptist, and the Priestly Divisions, offering fresh insight into the age of Jesus; and a detailed timeline from Jesus' birth through key events in His life and ministry to the Crucifixion.
This book offers a thorough and compelling study of the Star of Bethlehem, examining the subject in depth through biblical, historical, archaeological, and astronomical evidence. Unlike any video presentation or publication, you may have seen before, this work presents clear and verifiable data that invites you to decide for yourself what His Star, the Bethlehem Star, truly was.
The evidence within these pages demonstrates that the Star of Bethlehem is not a legend or myth, but a real, observable event in the night sky, timed perfectly within history and Scripture. And like the Magi, who when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy, you too will be filled with joy and your faith strengthened as the mystery of the Bethlehem Star is Revealed.
The Magi said, We saw His star. The popular conjunctions proposed for 2 and 3 BC-and even 6 BC-were not visible, either because they were behind the Sun or below the horizon. And if they could not be seen, then they cannot be what the Magi saw.
Then what exactly was His Star? Who were the Magi?
What is the real Bright and Morning Star?
It's not what most people think.
How did the Star appear to stand over the place where the Child was?
What is a Zodiacal Light, and could it hold the key to this ancient mystery?
The immense rarity of this specific astronomical sign the Magi witnessed explains why it would have been interpreted as a sign of unparalleled importance, signaling the birth of an eternal king in Judea, the King of the Jews. It was not just another planetary meeting; it was a once-in-a-millennium celestial announcement!
In From Babylon to Bethlehem: The Bethlehem Star Revealed, uncover the surprising truth about what His Star really was. Come along and travel back in time and view the heavenly sights of long ago as we join the Magi on their Journey from Babylon to Bethlehem. As an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer as well as Bible teacher, I have been enthusiastically contemplating for many years the background behind the enigmatic Star of Bethlehem which led the Magi to Jesus. In this new book, A.C. Katz will take you on an amazing historical, theological, archaeological, and astronomical journey exploring the possibilities of the Bethlehem Star. Was the Bethlehem Star a conjunction of planets? Conjunction of stars? A comet? Was it a supernatural event? You will certainly find all of her research fascinating and worth the read. Her attention to detail and conversational writing is enjoyable and highly recommended.
