Ủng hộ

"A first-ever English translation and detailed analysis of [an] . . . eighth-century text uncovers a far more substantial version of the wise men story." -USA Today Theologian Brent Landau presents the ancient account of Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, the three "wise men" who journeyed to Bethlehem to greet the birth of Jesus. The Revelation of the Magi offers the first-ever English translation of an ancient Syriac manuscript written in the second to third century after the birth of Christ and safeguarded for generations in the Vatican Library. Following in the footsteps of Elaine Pagels and her exploration of the Gnostic Gospels, including the controversial Gospel of Judas, Landau delivers an invaluable source of information to a world interested in learning more about the Nativity and the life of Jesus of Nazareth."Astonishing, delightful, and theologically sophisticated." -Marvin Meyer, Griset Professor of Religious Studies, Chapman University, author of Gospels of Mary"Landau’s presentation-bright and sharp as a gemstone-emphasizes the unique challenge and radical depth of this ancient text’s theology." -John Dominic Crossan, author of Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography and The Greatest Prayer "An epic tale. In a new, lucid translation, Landau offers English readers a chance to hear this remarkable story for the first time." -Karen L. King, author of the Secret Revelation of John"Landau is to be congratulated for bringing this important and unexpectedly influential work to light." Jennifer Knust, author of Unprotected Texts"Landau shows, with skill and authority, how the "Revelation" contains a valuable message of tolerance that is needed as much today as in the years of its composition." -Los Angeles Times (online)
