The Magi, or Three Kings, of the Nativity story are among the best loved yet most mysterious figures in all history. The fleeting and sparse account in St. Matthew’s Gospel raises as many questions as it answers. It has been so embroidered over the centuries that the original historical context has been almost completely buried. Yet the world of the early first century was as dynamic and intriguing as any legend – and much more perilous.
In his compelling novelization of the journey of the Magi, Roger Thomas draws on Scripture, history, and modern research. This swift-moving tale brings these shadowed figures to vivid life. You meet them as men of their time and culture learned and noble, yet experienced with a brutal world and even violent when necessary. Come with them as they search for a King they do not understand, and seek for answers to questions lying in the deepest parts of their souls – providing they survive the dangers of the journey.

This book made the story of the 3 Wise Men come alive! These biblical characters were an important part of the Nativity story but, other than that, I never could quite understand them. This book was rich in authenticity, drama, intrigue and plausibility. I wish there were another one just like it to read.Product details

From Afar edition by Roger Thomas Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Full disclosure I know the author. I bought the book. He's added context and flesh to Matthew 2 1-14 with some 'adventures' used to help explain the time period and the political situation which the fully drawn characters find themselves a part of. The quotes around adventures is a reference to a discussion between two of the characters. As always, Mr. Thomas has thought through
what may have happened to the characters before Chapter 1 begins, how those events influence their actions, and a likely outcome.
I enjoyed this book very much. It presents a believable narrative of why the Magi felt compelled to journey to Bethlehem, and what that journey might have been like.
Worth reading and purchasing as Christmas gifts for all ages. Provides well researched background plus entertaining read on the Magi journey. Memorable character development.
I bought this book for my 60-year-old father-in-law for Christmas. I am looking forward to borrowing it from him when he is done. I'm 30, so I guess you could say this would be a great gift for any age!
This account of the magi who came to worship the baby born to be the "king of the Jews" is well written. The story holds the reader's interest from beginning to end. I highly recommend it.
I like historical fiction, with Biblical settings or the Roman Empire being favorites. This story has both. I enjoyed the ideas the author puts to the magi and the stars, the dialogs with Mary and Joseph (deepening their characters beyond the usual; I welcome the that), and learned a few things along the way. This could become an annual read for me.
This is a very interesting work of historical fiction. It makes apparent implicit details in the journey of the Magi and reflects on the motives for that journey. Perhaps seeing the infant of the star change the three of them will in some small way change us as well.
This book made the story of the 3 Wise Men come alive! These biblical characters were an important part of the Nativity story but, other than that, I never could quite understand them. This book was rich in authenticity, drama, intrigue and plausibility. I wish there were another one just like it to read.
