The making of the documentary 2 download

We discover in Matthew that the Star that the Magi associated with the Messiah appeared suddenly and remained visible for a very long time.

We must start by briefly examining what Matthew says about the Star (a fuller investigation can be read in my book). I write as a Biblical scholar who has devoted years to the study of astronomy and to the mystery of the Star of Bethlehem and who is firmly convinced that LarsonвЂ™s theory provides a thoroughly inadequate explanation of MatthewвЂ™s account of the Star of Bethlehem. In this essay on LarsonвЂ™s theory, I will seek to expose some of its major problems-biblical, astronomical, historical, and chronological. Unfortunately, however, the position Larson promotes in this DVD is deeply flawed and unworthy of the passionate devotion it has attracted. The theory set forth in the DVD has many fervent advocates who are convinced that Larson has decisively resolved the mystery of the Bethlehem Star. On YouTube the documentary has been viewed tens of thousands of times. The DVD has been shown in countless churches across the world and has attracted over a thousand reviews on, the average being 4.8/5.0. Produced by Stephen McEveety, who co-produced Mel GibsonвЂ™s The Passion of the Christ, it won five Dove Awards. Rick LarsonвЂ™s documentary on the Star of Bethlehem has become very popular in Christian circles over the past decade.
