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

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.

A Fourth Edition of The Lion Led the Way is in preparation. Several significant revisions are underway and some new material is being added. The revised Lion book may be available in the spring of 2019. The books The Star of Bethlehem: Signs in the East and a Surprise in the West, as well as the novel MUL.BABBAR The White Star Over Bethlehem represent the present state of the author's views. Mr. Hutchison's book presents a completely different perspective on the Star of Bethlehem. The theory expounded in this book should become a new standard as well as a major milestone in the long history of research on the Star of Bethlehem. - Ken Elchert, author of The Star: An Investigative Journey in Search of the Star of Bethlehem. After reading the first edition of this book, an astronomer made the following comment, "The Lion Led the Way is a serious study of what could have been a messianic Jewish perspective concerning the heavens two millennia ago.

This book is the fruit of the first ever interdisciplinary international scientific conference on Matthew's story of the Star of Bethlehem and the Magi, held in 2014 at the University of Groningen, and attended by world-leading specialists in all relevant fields: modern astronomy, the ancient near-eastern and Greco-Roman worlds, the history of science, and religion. The scholarly discussions and the exchange of the interdisciplinary views proved to be immensely fruitful and resulted in the present book. Its twenty chapters describe the various aspects of The Star: the history of its interpretation, ancient near-eastern astronomy and astrology and the Magi, astrology in the Greco-Roman and the Jewish worlds, and the early Christian world – at a generally accessible level. An epilogue summarizes the fact-fiction balance of the most famous star which has ever shone.
