Revelation of the Magi

The Lost Tale of the Wise Men's Journey to Bethlehem

by Brent Landau

The first English translation of a Syriac apocryphon that tells the story of the Magi from their own point of view. Landau introduces the text and discusses its origins and theology. A fascinating example of early Christian elaboration of Matthew's story.
