The Magi

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is lucidly and wittily written, making it accessible to a broad audience while also offering fascinating new avenues for scholars interested in the Gospel of Matthew and in the Magi. Without falling into the trap of repackaging old claims or pursuing novelty for novelty's sake, Vanden Eykel takes us on a cultural journey, allowing us to better understand the Magi in their world, and therefore, to better understand their place in the story of Jesus.”
