KIDGER, MARK; KIDGER, MARK R. Star of Bethlehem: An Astronomer's View
Princeton, Princeton Uinversity Press. 1999, Second Printing. (ISBN: 0691058237). Hard Cover, 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall. Full blue cloth binding. Clean, crisp copy. xi, 306 pp. Illustrations. Notes, bibliography, index. Dust jacket offered in new mylar cover. Two thousand years ago, according to the Bible, a star rose low in the east and stopped high above Bethlehem. Was it a miracle, a sign from God to herald the birth of Christ? Was there a star at all, or was it simply added to the Bible to fulfill the Old Testament prophecy concerning the birth of the Messiah? Or was the Star of Bethlehem an actual astronomical event? For hundreds of years astronomers as prominent as Johannes Kepler have sought an answer to this last baffling question. Mark Kidger brings all the tools of modern science and an infectious spirit of inquiry to bear on the mystery. Fine/Fine.
