    A New Text About the Maji
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019*

Brent Landau translated this ancient text that was unearthed from the Vatican Library.  The tale was written in ancient Syriac text, a language spoken by ancient Christians in the Middle East and Asia.  It is always interesting to find new documents that show different visions of early Christian belief.The one thing I did not like about the book was the use of black-and-white photographs of early Christian art related to the Maji and their trip.  It was hard to see and appreciate the finer points of these early artists and their understanding of the story of the Maji.One of the most significant values of this text in today's milieu is that this text shows that God's mercy is available to all.  According to early Christians, if you did not believe what they believed, you were wrong.  This text sees all revelation as coming from God; thus each person's unique experience of God can be valid.Reading this text with one hand in the notes (at the end of the book) is critical for the first reading.  Landau's analysis is fascinating reading -- I just wish there were more pages included.  4.5 stars

    Intriguing and thought provoking
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017*

The Revelation of the Magi has two parts.  The first part includes  Landau's explanation of how he "discovered" the ancient manuscript, his work in translating it and his interpretation of its meaning.  The second part is his English translation of the text which was originally written  in ancient Syriac.  He also includes explanatory notes.  It is always interesting to read about how scholars go about analyzing and interpreting ancient texts and this was no exception.  Actually I wish Landau had gone into a bit more detail about this aspect of his work.  The interpretation of the "revelation" is intriguing and thought provoking, that "Christ" (for lack of a better word to indicate the phenomenon) has appeared to many different peoples and that all religions have received the message of the light.  This interpretation is not one that Christians who believe that the Bible is the literal word of God will accept easily.  (How they can believe that God spoke in the 17th century English of the KJV has always surprised me.).  However, Christians and others who have studied the history of the compilation of the New Testament and know about the many other Gospels and writings will appreciate this Revelation as another example of the complexity of early Christian  beliefs.
