Endorsements "for The Star that Astonished the World" The accounts of Josephus and the entire history of this period [of Christ's nativity] have been reassessed recently, with important new results, by Ernest L. Martin, whose book The Star that Astonished the World, has become the authorative source on the subject. --DR. CRAIG CHESTER Monterrey Institute for Research in AstronomyIt is not often that we see the demise of an astronomical theory that dates back to pre-telescopic times. Yet a theory first proposed by none other than the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler himself, and generally accepted as correct for more than three and a half centuries is now being discarded . . . by new historical research of Dr. Ernest L. Martin. --JOHN MOSLEY Griffith Observatory, Los AngelesFor more than a decade, Martin has been piecing together a grand mosaic that makes the Star of Bethlehem an easily understood reality, shows that the Magi bearing gifts was not a folktale and that Christ was born in the year 3-2 B.C., not 7-6 B.C. as believed for centuries. Griffith Planetarium in Los Angeles changed its Christmas programming to coincide with Martin's new findings. Many others throughout the world are doing the same. --PASADENA STAR-NEWS A scholarly work. . . . The facts of Roman history, the witness of the Christian historian Tertullian, the evidence of coins, the definitely known facts of the lives of the Herods, are all brought under review. It supplies a fair survey of all available evidence and well represents the efforts of up-to-date scholarship to solve problems that have perplexed men for centuries past. --BIBLE LEAGUE QUARTERLY Oxford, EnglandThere seems to be every to be said for your case, and very little left to stand against it. --PROF. RICHARD REESE Institute of Archaeology, Univ. of LondonWe are much indebeted to Dr. Martin for his fresh and fruitful reopening of a very difficult area. His book has clearly had considerable impact in America. It deserves thorough and sympathetic discussion here also. --DR.
