Scholars debate whether the Star of Bethlehem is a legend created by the early church or a miracle that marked the advent of Christ. Is it possible that the star was a real, astronomical event? From Producer Stephen McEveety (The Passion of the Christ) comes an amazing documentary on the Star of Bethlehem.

Presentation is everything. This presentation doesn't work. The "Proof" is something that this man "rigged up". I could have done the same thing to better effect.This same material however could be presented by somebody else with better graphics and you might have a better result. This just doesn't work.

Review Date 2/6/2018 PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this reviewPresenter Rick Larson walks you through Biblical and historical clues revealing the incredible significance of this celestial event as well as the vastness of God s creativity. Features: Produced by Stephen McEveety (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ) Dramatic presentation on the significance of Bethlehem s Star and its connection to the life of Christ.Now I believe Jesus was an actual person. The events surrounding his birth life and death are always controversial. Now this one presentation was poorly filmed and edited. Because this was a videotaped lecture most of the time the camera is just focused on Rick Larson. He has visual aids that that he refers to but the camera really doesn't cut to the visuals. One time the camera just cuts to "Nothing" and we just hear the man talking. I think whoever made this DVD was just out for a cash grab. The filmed it and just put on a DVD to sell without much effort in post production. The whole thing needs to be blocked and re-shot with multi cameras. This was poorly made. It is so bad you may fall asleep.Now again the information is interesting but the presentation shown here was made for a live audience. So there is no impact on a home viewer. It would of been an easy fix in post production. They could have shown the "Visulas" more clearly and use the original voice track over the visual inserts.If you own this film I am not "critical of the message" just the way "You delivered it"

WARNING: The contents of my review may simulate your definition of a spoiler. This is not my intent I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend watching the video or purchasing the CD; However because I too have written on the subject of the Star of Bethlehem I only wish to offer a similar, but slightly different research. I would like for your readers to review both scenarios, and that is why I do not believe that my remarks in any way constitutes a spoiler.My review is intended to add a link and not a distraction. I am recommending that Mr. Larson would consider extrapolating, revising or comparing his conclusion with the date of 7 BC as the starting point of the Magi's journey to Bethlehem and June 6 BC as the birth of Jesus. Precess the Star "Vega" instead of the planets Jupiter and Venus and consider the constellations "Drago" and "Lyre" as characters in reference to the writing of John's Revelation of Christ Jesus.If there is any opposition to this review, please contact me by email before taking any action to blacklist my comments.In all sincerity I thank you.

This documentary presented compelling evidence on the events which happened over two thousand years ago. With the age of computers and scientific data available, the "signs" from the heavens can finally be reveled. Mr. Larson takes you through scripture and presents his findings in a way that every member of your family will understand and enjoy. Was there a creator? Is the universe a gigantic clock? What are the signs in the heavens? You will ponder these questions and more as you view this presentation. I found myself wanting more information after the viewing. Larson provides references to third party software so you can duplicate what he has presented. This video will strengthen your faith or challenge your unbelief in the events leading to the birth of Christ.
