Star Over Bethlehem Billy L Powell

Excellent Christmas gift ! "Star Over Bethlehem" brings to life the birth narratives of Jesus in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Taking the position that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the book seeks to disprove critics who contend that the gospel accounts of Jesus' birth are mere myths and contrived fables. Not only does "Star Over Bethlehem" prove the validity of the gospels, but demonstrates that the two disparate birth accounts can be combined and merged into a single, time-sequenced birth narrative. Additionally, the book brings to life each of the eleven major personalities identified in the divine drama of the first Christmas. Further, it provides insight on the Star that appeared to the Wise Men, a reckoning of Jesus' time of birth, a detailed analysis of Jesus' genealogy from both Matthew and Luke, a profile of Bethlehem in Jesus' time and today, and the origin of the celebrations we call Christmas and Epiphany. May the insight of this book provide you, the reader, with an in-depth understanding of the Biblical events of Jesus' birth and, through this knowledge and insight, grant you an increased appreciation for the wonders of Christmas!
