It is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estill a popular feature of the modern Christmas card. The star was originally seen as a miracle, sent by God to announce the birth of His son. Since the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseventeenth century astronomers have speculated that the star was some astronomical events, such as a planetary conjunction or a comet, or that it\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epossessed astrological significance. In this ground-breaking book Martin Wells shows that these claims are all unjustified. By going back to the original\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etexts Wells argues that we should understand the Star as an imaginative story intended to legitimise Christ's role as the new Messiah, a story which resonates powerfully down to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42562739011680,"sku":"9781907767128","price":76.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/VUtzVy8xZ2I2aFUrQnlIVDVOV1QwZz09.webp?v=1770368130","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-messianic-star-new-light-on-the-star-of-bethlehem-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
