Revelation of the Magi: The Lost Tale of the Wise Men's Journey to Bethlehem ReviewFour REVEALING Stars! This unusually fantastic story is not the traditional Christmas season story of the Three Wise Men bearing gold, frankincense, and myrrh and seeking the Christ Child. This is the first English translation of the only known manuscript of the apocryphal "The Revelation of the Magi": a lengthy document written in the Syriac language probably by at least 2 authors. It had been relatively unknown to the general public until found by author, educator, and theological research expert Dr. Brent Landau in the Vatican archives. The entire book is a very scholarly work which is divided into: an introduction dealing with how the author located and translated the document; the translation of "The Revelation of the Magi" itself with 32 relatively short chapters; and then conclusive commentary, analyses, and questions. These Magi, although their origin may differ, seem to generally travel the same path contained in the synoptic Gospel of Matthew and the general trajectory of: following the "star"; encountering Jesus, Mary, and Joseph; and ending with their journey home. But the wildly-miraculous specifics vary far beyond what is in traditional Christmas plays and the Gospels. Indeed, "The Revelation of the Magi", goes as far back as Genesis and as far forward as an encounter between the Magi and one of the disciples of Jesus evangelizing the Gentiles, years after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The document's Nativity chronology between the Magi and the Holy Family is highly unusual and suspect. Those adhering to the strict interpretation of the Bible (Sola scriptura) may want to avoid this version of the wise men which may expose them to its divergent religious views within the document and in the author's astute probing theological questions: although this mostly 'first-person plural' story uses many well-known synoptic biblical thoughts & prophesy. Those of a more 'liberal Biblical bent', other believers, non-believers, and other religions may be interested and astounded by this unusually fantastic story and outlying apologetics and commentary. Very Definitely Recommended as an impressive intellectual feat of translation, analysis, and scholarship, with a strong caution to strict biblical-interpretation Christians as possibly too far-fetched and controversial for them & other modern-day Christians. In the end, as in my case, curiosity may win out. An AMAZING story. Four APOCRYPHAL Stars!
