I would give the new publisher, Cosimo, one star. It does not have the fold-out of the 48 constellations in the back as does the book published by Kregel, and it has "Astrology" written on the front cover. This is a book on Biblical Astronomy per the author. Bullinger would be turning in his grave if he knew his book was being classified as Astrology. I teach Biblical Astronomy and purchase this book (from Kregel) for my students. I will no longer purchase this book from Amazon.com if this is the only version of it they have.

The following applies to the version published by Kregel Publications: This is one of the best works available on Biblical Astronomy. I have been a student of Biblical Astronomy for over 25 years. This is the book that first got me interested in the field. It is very concise in its Biblical interpretations of the constellations and star names. The book is also very informative as to where the constellation pictures came from. The Witness of the Stars is a masterpiece that brings ancient light to a new generation. I am now a full time Biblical Astronomer and have myself written a book on the subject which concerns recent celestial events. I would not have had a clue of where to begin if it were not for this work by E.W. Bullinger.

I have read this book since I was 11 years old. not only did it teach me the constellations, it gave me the insights that everyone must know so that they will not lose faith in God. That the Bible is true because most of the stars ancient names can be found and were used in the Bible to convey messages in one word. Every now and then when there are special events in the sky I try to decipher what it mean and what God is trying to tell. It's the second book I have always loved after the Bible in my 25 years of living.

This book proves up the fact that God is indeed in control. This book is a must for all those who are true seekers of truth. Excellently written and considering the content, easy to understand.

E.W. Bullinger spells out the meaning of the stars and the zodiac, in their spiritual, uncorrupted state. In our day in age, the astrology is thought of as something for mystics, and generally viewed as satanic by Christians. But did you know that the fathers of astrology were the Bible Patriarchs themselves! God has used the stars as his "storybook in the sky" to reveal His plan of redemption for mankind. In The Witness of the Stars, Bullinger fascinates readers showing them how "the Heavens reveal the glory of the Lord." Just as the ancients taught their sons God's plans through the study of the stars, so you too can experience God's Word through the Heaven's manifestation.

This book provides the seeker of GOD'S TRUTH, as written in the HEAVEN'S, with the intellectual tools to see the corruption which todays so called "astrology" attempts. This serves to explain why GOD'S WORD says astrologers are sinners against GOD. What GOD has WRITTEN in the HEAVENS REVEALS GOD'S PLANS ON A SPIRITAL LEVEL FOR ALL WHO HAVE EYES TO SEE. FOR HE KNOWS EACH STAR AND CALLS THEM EACH BY NAME. THE STARS REVEAL HIS GLORY, HIS POWER, and HIS TRUTH.

Mr. Bullinger has presented his book, "Witness of the Stars", and it made me aware of my sin, gave me an opportunity to see my error, repent and seek forgiveness in MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.

IT IS WRITTEN IN THE HEAVENS SO WE WILL KNOW. I recommend this book, Witness of the Stars, to all who seek to understand the depth and breadth and height of that which GOD HAS PURPOSED IN EACH OF US.

Additionally, this book confirms we are to BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT, and that we are to study to show ourself approved unto GOD, rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH. The many references to scripture, provided in Witness of the Stars, can serve to assist you in your study of GOD'S WORD.

You want untouched evidence of God. Read this historical account in the stars from ancient civilizations on the message God sent back then to us.

As we started our study of space with our kids a friend brought us this book to use. It is so refreshing to read an alternative, Godly view versus what we are force-fed in schools and society. This books helps put God back in knowledge. We are currently ordering our own copy.

How thrilling it was to discover Amazon had 'The Witness of the Stars,' available for review. Published posthumously, the work displays the integrity of E.W. Bullinger's efforts to apply several major disciplines of scholarship as he introduces this edifying unveiling of God's Glory proclaimed across the sky. Mr. Bullinger entered the Lord's presence nearly a century ago in 1913!

'The Witness of the Stars,' provides scholastic, historical, and Biblical insight into God's own testimony as to the past, present and future of mankind. What a wind of refreshment in a world seemingly helpless and out of control.

A first mention of the thesis that God has written the Gospel in the Stars was introduced to this reviewer while in Bible School, 1975-76, by since graduated Evangelist Lester Roloff. Mr. Roloff had been inspired to examine this field partly because, as a traveling evangelist, he actually flew his own plane from meeting to meeting. He testified to ever being humbled during night flights across the earth. Having been introduced through Scripture's own declarations concerning God's setting the Heavens to declare His Glory, Psalm 19:1, Mr. Roloff went on to pen his findings.

And then how encouraging to read the reviews already given. Only the first handful of entries were able to be perused, yet, they proved the depths discerned on a mere first reading of 'Witness.' This book is a must purchase for any seeking truth.

One reading simply whets the appetite to discover and plumb the depths of Mr. Bullinger's myriad offerings.

Kudos to Amazon for making this book on eternal truth available to the world. Salutations to all in the Lord that have confirmed one's own impressions were in perspective.

To God be the Glory!

When Now Becomes Too Late {If we believe Jesus rose again -- The imminence of the Rapture.} Available in print, ebook, and on Kindle.

Reading this book through was a chore that put me to sleep any number of times. Granted, I fall asleep easily, so this should not reflect on the excellent quality of the information contained. The writing style is somewhat out of date, and the author's tendency to break into preaching or praise tended to be distracting.

Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what God originally intended for constellations and stars to mean. There is a ton of information here, symbology, astronomy, and theology.

I bought this book from Amazon and it is published by Kregel and does have the fold out in back displaying all of the constellations. An amazing book and necessary for all those interested in coming to a fuller knowledge of the Truth. We shall never learn all in our lifetime, but what a joy to be able to learn all that we can of our Savior and the witness of the plan of redemption which has been in the skies since the creation.
