5.0 out of 5 stars The Witness of the Stars, May 1, 2002

By	Bob Wadsworth "Biblical Astronomer" (Oregon City, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars truly moving story about God's Plan of Redemption, January 9, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Subic Bay, Philippines) - See all my reviews

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.
