A coming-of-age adventure: After a treacherous journey, a miraculous encounter transforms teenage magi into wise and worthy men. "Melequest: The Men from Menahur" meticulously weaves the biblical accounts of Matthew, Luke and the Prophets into an intriguing tale of the Wise Men. Because the Bible does not give the age of the Magi (and because patriarchs like Joseph, David and Daniel were all young when they became renown) Miles Oxlaide portrays the trio as teenage Magi-in-Training raised by astronomer priests in a Parthian Ziggurat. Unusual stellar activity, possibly a heavenly call, prompts the three to focus their energies on deciphering its meaning. The tale's complexity, intensity and authenticity come from Biblical studies, Parthian research and even a camel ride into the desert. With nothing to contradict the Bible, yet lots to make traditionalists ponder, the book presents a fascinating story.
