Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The idiosyncratic ideas expressed in the four parts of Mazzaroth, and its appendix Mizraim, are all based on solid research-misapplied, perhaps, in light of Rolleston's steadfast Christian outlook, but fully documented and with sources quoted length. The whole work provides the reader with an amazing compendium of obscure material on ancient mythology, symbolism, and etymology, with comprehensive biblical references and a wealth of learned and detailed footnotes. Much of the information is set out in a tabular form that inevitably reminds the reader of S. L. MacGregor Mathers's book of correspondences that we know as 777. And this may not be coincidental. Foreword by R. A. Gilbert. Fold-out insert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intensive study on Biblical Astronomy, July 29, 2001
By A Customer
Indeed a MUST HAVE for any advanced student of Biblical Astronomy.This book consists of many extensive informational charts and lists relating to the subject. While not the easiest read it is certainly a very valuable tool for the advanced student.

1.0 out of 5 stars Meaning in the Stars?, November 7, 2005
By Jay Ryan (Cleveland, Oh USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mazzaroth (Paperback)
The essence of astrology is that there is "meaning" in the stars, e.g. that when Jupiter is in Leo, it means something. Other forms of divination presume to find meaning in other things in nature, e.g. that the arrangement of tea leaves or chicken entrails or the lines in one's palm have some esoteric meaning. These "Gospel in the Stars" books presume to find Biblical meaning in the constellations.

In our efforts to "prove all things, hold fast to that which is true," we should be very wary of the notion that a 19th century scholar, using Medieval sources, discovered an antedeluvian prophecy of Jesus in the constellations known to Aratus in 275 B.C. A reader seeking a Scriptural and scientific work on Biblical astronomy should instead read the 1908 work, "The Astronomy of the Bible" by noted solar astronmer E.W. Maunder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Burnt at the stake!, February 28, 2006
Not so lang ago, this book - with two similar volumes, written by Joseph Seiss and Ethelbert Bullinger, resp. - would - together with its authors - have been burnt at the stake by the Church. Although the authors are devout Christians, who want to show that the Gospel story is "written in the sky" in the constellations of the Zodiac, everything that has to do with astrology - and astronomy, they would have burnt Galileo too had they been given the chance - is considered "heresy" by the Church, just because it might bring people up to ideas. And what are these ideas that the Church is so afraid of? That the stories involving the constellations of the Zodiac were around centuries before Christianity? And that Christianity has simply hijacked these stories, mixed them up with some Greek philosophy, anti-semitism and hatred of women, pasted it all hastily - in order to head off more sophisticated creeds like Judaism and Islam - together (in the 15th century AD) to an incomprehensible heap of hooey, and sold it as "the greatest story ever told", which people were forced to believe on pain of gruesome torture and excecution. And up to this very day the crap is proclaimed from the pulpit!
Since burning at the stake is now no longer allowed, these books are now simply "silenced to death", and - were it not for amazon.com and the Internet - would be gathering dust - with so many other intelligent works that bring out the real truth about the origins of Christianity - on a long-forgotten bookshelf in an antiquity shop.
