Revelation of the Magi: The Lost Tale of the Wise Men's Journey to Bethlehem »

Brent Landau received his Th.D. from Harvard University and is an expert in ancient biblical languages and literature. He currently teaches in the Religious Studies Program at the University of Oklahoma and lives with his wife in Norman, Oklahoma.

Harvard scholar Brent Landau presents the never-before-seen backstory of three “wise men” of the Christmas story, packaged in a beautiful hardcover edition. This is the first English translation of an ancient text, discovered in the Vatican library, written from the point of view of the Magi about their miraculous trip! The text outlines a complex ritual and religious system for the three travelers, who live in the mysterious far-eastern land of Shir and embody the ideal “pre-Christian” religious belief. With its fascinating tale, this book offers romance and spiritual fascination for those who just can’t get enough of the Christmas spirit.
