The Return of the Star of Bethlehem: A Message for the 21st Century
What exactly was the Star of Bethlehem? Is there any chance it may actually return – and, if so, under what circumstances? Who were the Magi, or “wise men” that witnessed the event? What might the Star mean to you today?

Authors Kenneth Boa and William Proctor answer these and other exciting, provocative questions in THE RETURN OF THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM: A Message for the 21st Century, the lavishly illustrated new e-book published by Inkslingers Press (www.InkslingersPress.com).

For millennia, theologians, astronomers and Christian lay people have puzzled over the exact nature and identity of the Star of Bethlehem. Some have concluded that the Star was a supernova – a striking stellar explosion in deep space. Others say the phenomenon was a bolide – a large meteor. Still others argue that the Star was a conjunction – a close passing of planets, which might have had special meaning to Magi trained in astrological arts. Some even contend that the Star was an alien visitation such as a UFO. But is it possible that the incident involved something even more mysterious?

Authors Boa, a prominent theologian-astronomer, and Proctor, a Harvard-trained attorney and author, sort through all the major theories and then suggest some surprising answers that help explain the biblical account. The first edition of this book was published by Doubleday; this updated, revised edition includes new information and also striking illustrations from NASA and other astronomical agencies and observers.
