Special Event! *The Star of the Magi: Lecture, Discussion and Book Signing*

London College of Spirituality is Proud to Present: Courtney Roberts & The Star of The Magi

"The Star of Bethlehem is one of the most popular, and puzzling mysteries of the Bible. But why did the authors (and editors) of the Christian gospels choose Zoroastrian Magi and astrology to herald the coming of Jesus Christ? Did the Magi have some special significance then that we have since lost? Who were they, and did their astrological beliefs really lead them to Jesus?
Once we understand who the Magi were, what they believed, and how much they influenced their Jewish and Christian neighbors, some strikingly obvious conclusions emerge, shedding an entirely new light on the origins of monotheism and messianic expectations in the ancient world."

Don't miss this opportunity to meet the author and join in an exciting group discussion exploring all the fascinating implications raised by this work regarding the past, present and future of our Western, Judeo-Christian culture, and our tragic and longstanding enmity with the Moslem Middle East.

Courtney Roberts, M.A. is a writer, teacher, and consultant, originally from Miami, FL. With over 25 years experience in the field of astrology, her work reflects a unique perspective: a real passion for the 'big picture' that deftly combines cosmology, religious studies and history. She developed her specialization in the role of astrology in religion, particularly Persian Zoroastrianism and western monotheism, while completing a Masters degree in Cultural Astronomy at Bath Spa University in England. As a result, The Star of the Magi - The Mystery That Heralded the Coming of Christ (2007, New Page/Career Press) will be released in October. Her last book, Visions of the Virgin, published by Llewellyn in 2004, was the first of it kind to utilize astrology as a tool in comparative religion. A recognized expert on sports astrology, Courtney has published widely on the subject, and her Real-Time methods represent a major breakthrough in event analysis and prediction. She maintains a busy schedule, writing, teaching, and lecturing to audiences of every persuasion all around the world.
