Not merely a review or survey of sources, but an interpretive and historical biography of the concept of the Messiah. Laato (exegetics, Abo Academy, Turku, Finland) traces it to Near Eastern royal ideology, then follows its development into a central issue in the Old Testament and Jewish eschatology of the Second Temple period, and to the New Testament christology developed in conjunction with Jewish messianic ideas. Milestones on the journey include Nathan's dynastic oracle, the Assyrian crisis, the post-exile period, Hasmonean propaganda, the Qumran scrolls, and Tannaitic Judaism.

"In The Scepter and the Star, John J. Collins turns to the Dead Sea Scrolls to shed new light on the origins, meaning, and relevance of messianic expectations. The first Christians were Jews who believed that Jesus of Nazareth was the messiah - the Christ; Christians could be called "followers of the messiah." Other Jews did not accept this claim, and so the Christians went their own way and grew into a separate religion. The disagreement about the identity of the messiah is the root difference between Judaism and Christianity." "The recent disclosure of the full corpus of the Dead Sea Scrolls now makes it possible to see this disagreement in a fuller context than ever before. The most stunning revelation of the new evidence is the diversity of messianic expectations in Judaism around the beginning of the common era. The Hebrew word "messiah" means "anointed one." According to the scrolls, the messiah could be a warrior king in the line of David, a priest, a prophet, or a teacher. He could be called "the Son of God." Jesus of Nazareth fitted the expectations some Jews of the time had of the messiah. The majority of Jews, however, had quite different expectations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Mr. Hutchison's book presents a completely different perspective on the Star of Bethlehem. The theory expounded in this book should become a new standard as well as a major milestone in the long history of research on the Star of Bethlehem. - Ken Elchert, author of The Star: An Investigative Journey in Search of the Star of Bethlehem. (This is the full color edition of the book, a grayscale version also exists.) Did wise men really come from the East seeking Israel's Messiah sometime after the birth of Jesus? The biblical account of the wise men and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. Important aspects of Babylonian astronomy seem to be involved in understanding the star's appearing. But in addition, A Sign Over Bethlehem also explores the men and events from a profoundly Jewish perspective. The traditional Jewish names of stars and planets, Jewish symbols, as well as Jewish dates, all seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the famous star. The Star of Bethlehem was not the brightest of the heavenly lights, nor was it the most spectacular starry manifestation of all time. However, it was part of the most meaningful set of celestial events in human history. The God of Israel is surprising. His ways are not our ways; his thoughts are not our thoughts. The star gives us a concrete example of God's intervention in the universe. Who were the biblical Magi? Various wise men were important in the history of the vast region to the east of Judaea. Zoroastrian, Babylonian, Greek and even Jewish wise men all played a role there in several successive empires. A possible Jewish connection with the story of the biblical wise men has been long neglected. The Magi who arrived in Bethlehem seem to have been influenced by Judaism. Tens of thousands of Jews lived in Mesopotamia and Iran when Jesus was born. Apparently some kind of connection must have been made between Babylonian astronomy and the Jewish messianic hope. The Magi were seeking God's kingdom centered on the Jewish Messiah, the Righteous One. Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem, is still making himself known. His ways are as mysterious as ever, and his humility is unsurpassed. A Sign over Bethlehem is a greatly abridged version of the third edition of The Lion Led the Way, a book of almost 400 pages.

John J. Collins here offers an up-to-date review of Jewish messianic expectations around the time of Jesus, in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He breaks these expectations down into categories: Davidic, priestly, and prophetic. Based on a small number of prophetic oracles and reflected in the various titles and names assigned to the messiah, the Davidic model holds a clear expectation that the messiah figure would play a militant role. In sectarian circles, the priestly model was far more prominent. Jesus of Nazareth, however, showed more resemblance to the prophetic messiah during his historical career, identified as the Davidic “Son of Man” primarily after his death. In this second edition of The Scepter and the Star Collins has revised the discussion of Jesus and early Christianity, completely rewritten a chapter on a figure who claims to have a throne in heaven, and has added a brief discussion of the recently published and controversial Vision of Gabriel.

How could a star announce the coming of the Jewish Messiah? Who were the men who made the discovery? What keys helped them to understand the message of the star? "MUL.BABBAR: The White Star Over Bethlehem" is a historical novel about the wise men who visited the Messiah in Bethlehem. In the last years of the first century BC, this special group of astronomers turned from worshiping their ancestral gods to believing in the Jewish messianic king, the Righteous One. The star was a herald of the Messiah. The heavens delivered a completely unexpected message concerning the King of kings. The novel's insights from Babylonian astronomy and Messianic Judaism bring the experience of the Magi into focus and highlight the unique nature of the star. The name MUL.BABBAR, meaning the "White Star," was used by Babylonian astronomers for the star which signaled the Messiah's coming. The novel is based on Dwight Hutchison's research about the Star of Bethlehem. A simple explanation of Mr. Hutchison's ideas about the Star of Bethlehem can be found in the book: The Star of Bethlehem, Signs in the East and a Surprise in the West, which is also available on Amazon. An early version of Mr. Hutchison's theory of the star was described by a professional astronomer in this way: "Mr. Hutchison has made a serious study. Using computer technology and Babylonian astronomical concepts as well as Jewish names and dates, Hutchison has come to believe that the star was involved in a series of royal messianic celestial signs. These largely discreet events, seen by the magi while they were in the East, indicated the Messiah's coming. Later, the star unexpectedly became a sign over Bethlehem as well." (The Star of Bethlehem and the Magi, Brill, 2015, p. 4.) Comments from one reader: It really is a remarkable work. I can't imagine how much time it took to do the meticulous research ... It flows well. I got so nervous at the end when the Magi were fleeing from Herod. Yikes.

An in-depth look at the powerful story and symbolism behind God's unique design of our universe. Thousands of words have been written about the first ten words in the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," a simple and profound statement that has ignited a firestorm of debate and controversy. People often only focus on the "how" and "when" of creation, but Story in the Stars explores the "why." Why did God create such a vast universe? Why did He choose the sun and moon to light our paths? Why did He design images with stars in the night sky? The Bible is very clear when it states that God created, named, and positioned all of the stars of the universe in their place in a very specific way-a way that tells us the greatest story ever to be told. In Luke 21:25 Jesus says, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars." Signs are meant to point us towards something: Jesus. Story in the Stars takes an in-depth look at the Bible and all the signs God mapped out through constellations, planets, and even the way the Earth is tilted. We are uniquely designed by God, and He loves us so much that He ensured a way for all inhabitants of the earth, through all of time, to see the messages of salvation and redemption that He painted in the stars.

Christians owe a debt to the Jew. Through the Jews came the Scriptures, the Messiah--the Lord Jesus--and the Church. This being true, it would make sense for Christians to gain an understanding of the Jewish roots of their faith. "He Made the Stars Also" addresses the Jewish Roots of Christianity covering various theological themes. This compilation of articles has circulated throughout the country with Dr. Johnson's Research Review and teaching letters. Pastors, Bible teachers, Jewish people and Christians in general have benefited from these sound bytes of pertinent information regarding Israel, prophecy and the Jewish roots of Christianity.
