Publisher's Synopsis
The Bible's tale of the three wise men who visit Jesus after his birth has fascinated biblical scholars and laymen alike for centuries. There are many legends and ancient manuscripts surrounding these travelers, but what exactly is their story? Were they astrologers, wise men, magi, kings, or something else entirely?
In The Three Wise Men, author Dagee, PhD, uses ancient descriptions, social science, and biblical events to provide thoroughly researched chapters discussing their names, ages, lineage, language, physical descriptions, homelands, dress, how they met, the gifts they each gave to the baby Jesus, and much more.
Utilizing the "eyewitness" account as put forth in the visions of a nineteenth-century nun named Anne Catherine Emmerich, this book helps dispel many of the beliefs and confirms many of the legends regarding these three famous travelers.
The story of the three wise men is a complex one and Dagee's journey to find them is fascinating and engaging. For fans of Brent Landau's Revelation of the Magi, this compelling work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient manuscripts, history, and geography as well as the Bible's Epiphany.
