Searching for the Star of Bethlehem
O star of
wonder, star of light,
Star with royal
beauty bright,
Westward leading,
still proceeding,
Guide us to thy
perfect light.
Today
on Far Future Horizons we go in search of the Star of Bethlehem
Astronomers, theologians, sceptics
and believers have pondered the story of Christ’s birth and the star of
Bethlehem.
Over two thousand years ago, a
bright star showed three Magi the path to the newborn Jesus. What was that
star? Was it a star or was it something else?
In the deepest sense it scarcely
matters, for what is most significant about the Star of Bethlehem is not
whether it existed or what it was, but what it symbolizes. For those of us who
grew up in the Christian tradition it represents a message of hope and the
dawning of a new ethical philosophy by which we choose to conduct our lives.
For me personally the story of
Jesus' birth and the Adoration of the Magi symbolises hope.
On behalf of all of us here on Far
Future Horizons I would like to wish our readers a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy Prosperous New Year.
May We All Find Peace and
Prosperity here on our planetary home - The Good Earth.
Star of Wonder
Today on Far Future Horizons we present the final installment of “The Universe Ancient Mysteries Solved”.
What
was the astronomical reality behind the star that, according to the Gospel of
Matthew, guided the Magi to the young Jesus? This episode examines almost
twenty centuries of theories and
speculation concerning the Star of Bethlehem.
Sherlock Holmes: The True Story
Join us on Far Future Horizons in celebration of Sherlock Holmes' birthday. The game is afoot as we go in search of the real life inspiration behind Arthur Conan Doyle’s - Sherlock Holmes.
A leading Nineteenth Century professor of medicine, Dr. Joseph Bell was a pioneer in a new science that later would be known as forensic medicine. Joseph Bell is the real life model for the greatest fictional detective in history. And it was he who inspired his student, Arthur Conan Doyle to create the world’s greatest literary legend of all time.
