The Folly of the Three Wise Men is a book written by Edgar Whitaker Work. The book is a critical analysis of the traditional story of the three wise men who visited Jesus after his birth. Work argues that the story of the three wise men is a myth that has been perpetuated for centuries and has little historical accuracy. In the book, Work examines the origins of the story and the various interpretations that have been given to it over time. He also explores the cultural and religious contexts in which the story emerged and how it has been used to support various theological and political agendas. Work's argument is that the story of the three wise men is a product of a particular historical and cultural moment and should not be taken as a literal truth. He suggests that the story has been used to promote a particular view of Christianity and that this view has often been used to justify imperialism and colonialism. The Folly of the Three Wise Men is a provocative and challenging book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of myth in religious belief. Work's argument is well-researched and persuasively presented, making this an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of religious belief and its relationship to historical truth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
