The Witness of the Stars stands as one of the best explanations of the constellations in the context of Biblical wisdom. This edition includes all of E. W. Bullinger's original charts and illustrations of the heavens above.
To compose this book, E. W. Bullinger used his Biblical scholarship alongside research of the origins of the astronomical constellations. He demonstrates, through a close reading of the Old and New Testaments, how each of the star signs relates to the Bible's stories. Gradually, it is revealed how God makes himself known to us through the Bible's astronomy.
The symbolism of the star signs are shown as important in the Bible. Their presence in verse relates not simply to their appearances, such as Libra's scales or Aries as a ram, but also the way in which Biblical figures behave after looking at the heavens for guidance. The Book of Job is highlighted by Bullinger for being significantly influenced by the stars. As well as this, we receive a historical examination of the origins of certain star signs, with their early appearance in Akkadian texts.
Further into his analysis, Bullinger uses the stars and their patterns to prove that God's intentions for mankind can be read from the constellations. By examining how the stars are laid out in the sky, the author is able to map not simply the past events of the Bible, but the future events due to take place between mankind and the Lord.
