The Wise Men and the Star - Hardcover

by Dean G. Miller (Author)

The story of the Wise Men in Matthew's Gospel has always been an enigma. The only three important terms in that tale-"wise men," "star," and "east"-are all lost in obscurity, rendering it useless as a record. For this reason, many scholars consider it just another miracle story of the kind that surrounded other ancient heroes. But what if a piece of information was missing whose recovery would make it as clear today as it was to the original readers? In The Wise Men and the Star, Dr. Miller explains how he uncovered that missing piece, which then revealed who the Wise Men were, the location of the East when they arrived in Bethlehem, and what was the star they saw.

Author Biography

Dr. Miller approaches the Bible from a unique perspective. With degrees in engineering, theology and neuropsychology he treats the Bible as a trustworthy historical document and dares to strip away from it the many layers of traditional interpretations that do more to cloud than clarify what the Bible actually says. Throughout his ministry, Dr. Miller's special interest had been the Gospels and the person and character of Jesus, himself, and it is here that he has made the greatest contribution to our understanding of the Jesus that Christians know as the Son of God.
