Henry Van Dyke
The story of the other wise man
Hardcover
(Revell Jan. 1, 1959)
One of Henry van Dyke's most popular stories, The Story of the Other Wise Man (1896), is a parable about altruism. With bold originality, van Dyke adds a fourth Magus, Artaban, to the story of the three Wise Men in the Bible. Artaban sells all he owns to bring three precious jewels to the newly born Christ child. On his way to meet the baby Jesus, however, he is delayed by people who need his aid and as a result he finally uses up all his precious jewels without ever seeing baby Jesus. In the end, Artaban has a vision of Jesus Christ telling him that in helping others, he has seen and helped Christ himself. The Story of the Other Wise Man has been published in eighteen editions in the United States and England and translated into many languages.
