The Magi get 12 verses in the Gospel of Matthew, but that was all we needed to remain fascinated with them across history. In his new book\xa0The Magi,\xa0Dr. Eric Vanden Eykel starts with the Biblical story and follows the Magi all the way to Biff (if you know, you know).
\nEric Vanden Eykel is Associate Professor of Religious Studies and the Forrest\xa0S. Williams Teaching Chair in the Humanities at Ferrum College in Virginia.\xa0He received his Ph.D. in Judaism and Christianity from Antiquity from Marquette University in Milwaukee, and he also holds masters degrees from Marquette and the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. Dr. Vanden Eykel’s\xa0primary\xa0area of research is early Christian apocryphal literature, with a special focus on texts and traditions about the infancies and childhoods of Jesus and Mary, his mother. He is the author of\xa0\u201cBut Their Faces Were All Looking Up: Author and Reader in the Protevangelium of James,\u201d\xa0published by T&T Clark, co-editor of\xa0Sex, Violence, and Early Christian Texts, published by Lexington Books, and author of\xa0The Magi: Who They Were, How They’ve Been Remembered, and Why They Still Fascinate,\xa0published by Fortress Press.
