The Star of Bethlehem (Paperback)

£9.99
A star appeared. Wise men followed. A King had come. Most retellings of the Christmas story treat the star as simple decoration, a pretty detail hovering over the manger. The Star of Bethlehem asks the questions most retellings never pause to consider: what was this star actually, why did it lead specifically to a Jewish king, and why have wise men from a distant land recognised it when Jerusalem's own scholars, holding the correct prophecy in hand, never went to look for themselves. Tracing the star back through Balaam's ancient prophecy of a star out of Jacob, through Daniel's long, quiet influence among the very scholarly tradition the wise men belonged to, through honest astronomical theories held carefully alongside Scripture's own account of a star that moved and stopped in a way no natural object truly does, this book builds a careful case that the star was never meant to be admired for its own sake. It was meant to be followed, all the way to genuine worship. Written in a warm, clear, and accessible voice, this is the seventh book in the author's Christmas series, and it stands complete on its own. For anyone who has ever wondered what that star in the nativity scene actually was, this book offers a serious, honest answer, and an invitation to follow whatever sign of your own is still waiting to be taken seriously.
