THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM BOOK ANNOUNCED   

   Ray Williams writes: "An NJNS member and new E-Sylum  
   subscriber Mike Molnar has a book being published in 
   October.  ... I heard Mike give a mesmerizing  talk 
   about numismatic evidence of the Star of Bethlehem and 
   how scientific evidence backs it up."   From the Press 
   Release:  

   "Could the $50 purchase of an ancient coin by a Rutgers 
   astronomer have unlocked the mystery of the Christmas 
   Star?  For years, scientists have looked, with little 
   success, to astronomical records for an explanation of 
   the magical star that guided the Magi to Christ's manger. 
   Intrigued by the image he found on the latest addition 
   to his coin collection, Michael Molnar thought there might 
   be more to learn by looking, instead, at the teachings of 
   ancient astrologers."  

   The clothbound book has 208 pages, 7 photos, and 24 
   figures.  It will be available in October by calling toll 
   free 1-800-446-9323 to order.  Congratulations, Mike!
