Journey of the Magi
by Richard Trexler
The Magi story, the story of the wise men, is probably one of the best examples of places where people have read into the Bible all sorts of beliefs that are not exactly there. For example, the idea that there are three of them, Matthew’s Gospel never says that.

The best books on The Christmas Story, recommended by Brent Landau
The story of the birth of Jesus is the part of the Gospels that is least based on history, explains religious studies scholar Brent Landau. Jesus was probably not born in Bethlehem and he may have been visited by as many as 12 wise men. He picks books to help understand the real Christmas story.
