Each Christmas, adults and children alike delight at the
story of the kings from the East who followed the star to
Bethlehem to offer gifts to the newborn Christ. While this
familiar tale is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, another
little-known version later emerged that claimed to be the
eyewitness account of the wise men. This ancient manuscript
has lain hidden for centuries in the vaults of the Vatican
Library, but through the determined persistence of a young
scholar, Brent Landau, this astonishing discovery has been
translated into English for the very first time as the
Revelation of the Magi. Everything we know about the wise men is based on only a few
verses from the Bible. With the Revelation of the Magi, we
can now read the story from the Magi's perspective. Readers
will learn of the Magi's prophecies of God's incarnation
from the beginning of time, their startling visitation in
the form of a star, the teachings they receive from the baby
Jesus, and the wise men's joyous return to their homeland to
spread the good news. This ancient version of the Christmas story is guaranteed to
astonish and delight. It will also raise larger questions of
the significance and meaning of Christ's birth, and the
mission to spread the good news to every corner of the
globe. All the drama and intrigue of the brief description
of Jesus's birth in the Bible is filled out in greater, more
colorful detail, offering for the first time the complete
story of these beloved characters.
