Messiah's Star

by Michael L Dourson

Overview

Natural law meets faith in Messiah's Star, telling the story of the birth of Christ through celestial events occurring at that time. Grounded in science and told as it may have been seen through the eyes of Biblical figures, Messiah's Star shows how people of the day would have interpreted an amazing series of visible planetary conjunctions, the like of which has not happened at any other time in the history of Man. The timing and symbolic meaning of these extraordinary happenings correspond with the with the timing of Biblical events. They may very well have heralded the birth of Christ. Michael Dourson demonstrates how certain Biblical passages are literal descriptions of these events, easily understood by the people of the time.
