Mr. Hutchison's book presents a completely different perspective on the Star of Bethlehem. The theory expounded in this book should become a new standard as well as a major milestone in the long history of research on the Star of Bethlehem. - Ken Elchert, author of "The Star: An Investigative Journey in Search of the Star of Bethlehem." (This is the full color edition of the book, a grayscale version also exists.) Did wise men really come from the East seeking Israel's Messiah sometime after the birth of Jesus? The biblical account of the wise men and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. Important aspects of Babylonian astronomy seem to be involved in understanding the star's appearing. But in addition, "A Sign Over Bethlehem" also explores the men and events from a profoundly Jewish perspective. The traditional Jewish names of stars and planets, Jewish symbols, as well as Jewish dates, all seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the famous star. The Star of Bethlehem was not the brightest of the heavenly lights, nor was it the most spectacular starry manifestation of all time. However, it was part of the most meaningful set of celestial events in human history. The God of Israel is surprising. His ways are not our ways; his thoughts are not our thoughts. The star gives us a concrete example of God's intervention in the universe. Who were the biblical Magi? Various wise men were important in the history of the vast region to the east of Judaea. Zoroastrian, Babylonian, Greek and even Jewish wise men all played a role there in several successive empires. A possible Jewish connection with the story of the biblical wise men has been long neglected. The Magi who arrived in Bethlehem seem to have been influenced by Judaism. Tens of thousands of Jews lived in Mesopotamia and Iran when Jesus was born. Apparently some kind of connection must have been made between Babylonian astronomy and the Jewish messianic hope. The Magi were seeking God's kingdom centered on the Jewish Messiah, the Righteous One. Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem, is still making himself known. His ways are as mysterious as ever, and his humility is unsurpassed. "A Sign over Bethlehem" is a greatly abridged version of the third edition of "The Lion Led the Way," a book of almost 400 pages.
