The Star of Bethlehem: How Matthew's Magi Narrative Reveals Christianity's Hellenistic Origins

Diving deep into how the Star of Bethlehem story reveals how early Christianity used mainly Greek ideas and not Jewish ones despite claiming to be a narrative for the Jews. As a religious historian, I've spent years studying how this narrative actually shows Greek rather than Jewish origins. In this analysis, I demonstrate why the Magi story, the star's behavior, and the gifts all point to Hellenistic influence rather than traditional Jewish thought.
