Book Description
Was there a star announcing the coming of the Jewish Messiah at the end of the first millennium BC? Did "wise men" come from the east seeking the newly born king of the Jews? How can one be sure? MUL.BABBAR: The Messiah’s Star approaches the “Star of Bethlehem” from a Jewish and Babylonian perspective. Babylonian astronomy and royal symbolism seem to give clues about the star. However, the royal celestial signs related to the coming of the Messiah are also connected directly to Judaism and the Bible. The Messiah's star announced the coming of a great king, The Greatest of Kings, destined to rule the world. This book is an updated, improved, and expanded version of The Lion Led the Way by the same author.

MUL.BABBAR The White Star Over Bethlehem

Pages : 478
Book Description
Dwight Hutchison's historical novel, MUL.BABBAR, The White Star Over Bethlehem, shows how non-Jewish Babylonian astronomers and others could have shifted from their traditional ideas to believing in the Jewish Messiah. Relatively discreet events involving the synodic cycle of MUL.BABBAR (Jupiter) in the late first-century BC probably left plenty of ancient astronomers scratching their heads. The royal celestial events were at the heart of Babylonian astronomical science (but not at the heart of their astrology).

The Star of Bethlehem

Publisher: Dwight Hutchison
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
A Jewish and Babylonian Perspective About the Star of Bethlehem The biblical account of the wise men and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. Important aspects of Babylonian astronomy seem to be involved in understanding the star’s appearing. But in addition, this short bookl also explores the men and events from a profoundly Jewish perspective. The traditional Jewish names of stars and planets, Jewish symbols, as well as Jewish dates, all seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the famous star. Who were the biblical Magi? Various wise men were important in the history of the vast region to the east of Judaea. Zoroastrian, Babylonian, Greek and even Jewish wise men all played a role there in several successive empires. A possible Jewish connection with the story of the biblical wise men has been long neglected. Tens of thousands of Jews lived in Mesopotamia and Iran when Jesus was born. As they came to understand the star, the Magi apparently made a connection between aspects of Babylonian astronomy and the Jewish messianic hope. Book website: www.star-of-bethlehem.info

Pages : 402
Book Description
Was there a meaningful stellar sign over Bethlehem? What did it look like to someone looking up at the night sky? Did wise men really come from the East seeking Israel’s Messiah sometime after the birth of Jesus? The biblical account of the wise men and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. Important aspects of Babylonian astronomy seem to be involved in understanding the star’s appearing. But in addition, The Lion Led the Way also explores the men and events from a profoundly Jewish perspective. The traditional Jewish names of stars and planets, Jewish symbols, as well as Jewish dates, all seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the famous star. The star of Bethlehem was not the brightest of the heavenly lights, nor was it the most spectacular starry manifestation of all time. However, it was part of the most meaningful set of celestial events in human history. The God of Israel is surprising. His ways are not our ways; his thoughts are not our thoughts. The star gives us a concrete example of God’s intervention in the universe. Book website: www.star-of-bethlehem.info

Pages : 342
Book Description
Wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? The biblical account of the Magi and the star that announced the coming of the Messiah of Israel has inspired and puzzled people for two millennia. The Lion Led the Way, has stronger ties to Judaism than any previous effort of explaining the starry events surrounding Jesus' birth. The traditional Jewish names of the certain stars and planets, as well as Jewish dates, seem to be keys to unlocking the mystery of the star. The Jewish aspect of the story of the wise men has been long neglected. Hundreds of thousands of Jews lived in Mesopotamia and ancient Iran during the 1st century BC. Zoroastrian Magi were important in the history of the vast region to the east of Judea, but Babylonian, Greek and even Jewish wise men also played a role in several successive empires. The Magi, who arrived in Bethlehem, seem to have understood at least part of the meaning of Daniel's prophecy concerning the 70 “sevens.” They saw how the prophecy was linked both to the stars and to the birth of the Messiah. The Righteous One, who was born in Bethlehem, is still making himself known. His ways are as mysterious as ever, his humility is unsurpassed. The second edition contains about 70 pages of new material . Book website: www.tzedek.info (under construction) A color, hyperlinked PDF e-book is available through the book website.

Gender, Violence and Popular Culture
Author: Laura J. Shepherd
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136252134
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
This book examines the intersection of gender and violence in popular culture. Drawing on the latest thinking in critical international relations, media and cultural studies and gender studies, it focuses in particular on a number of popular TV shows including Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Generation Kill, The Corner and The West Wing. The book makes a unique theoretical contribution to the ‘narrative turn’ in International Relations by illustrating the ways in which popular culture and global politics are intertwined and how we make sense of our worlds through these two frames. Methodologically, the book enhances discourse-theoretical analysis in IR through its incorporation of methods from narratology and film studies. The book proposes an aesthetic ethicopolitical approach to global politics which challenges us to interrogate how it becomes possible that we think what we think, it challenges the truths that we hold to be self-evident and that which we take to be common sense. It demands that we think carefully, critically, uncomfortably, about our world(s) – even when we’re ‘only’ watching television.

The Loser
Author: Thomas Bernhard
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307773469
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Thomas Bernhard was one of the most original writers of the twentieth century. His formal innovation ranks with Beckett and Kafka, his outrageously cantankerous voice recalls Dostoevsky, but his gift for lacerating, lyrical, provocative prose is incomparably his own.One of Bernhard's most acclaimed novels, The Loser centers on a fictional relationship between piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and two of his fellow students who feel compelled to renounce their musical ambitions in the face of Gould's incomparable genius. One commits suicide, while the other-- the obsessive, witty, and self-mocking narrator-- has retreated into obscurity. Written as a monologue in one remarkable unbroken paragraph, The Loser is a brilliant meditation on success, failure, genius, and fame.
