This is turning out to be far more intriguing than I expected. Fr Longenecker brings the reader along in his exploration of ancient tribes and civilizations to determine who were the Magi. It’s not overly heady, making it an easy, enjoyable read.

I like that Fr. Longenecker addresses the dichotomy between "believers with blinders" and "scholars and skeptics". It's the approach I wish Colm Toibin had taken, whose book, "The Sign of the Cross: Travels in Catholic Europe", I'm also reading. I like Father's desire to find that middle ground as he seeks the true story of the Magi. So far this is a good read as his writing style is one that flows well.
