Feminist Theological Commentary Reinterprets Biblical Magi as Women
Rev. Dr. Boyung Lee presents a feminist theological perspective suggesting the biblical Magi might have been women rather than the traditional depiction as three kings. This commentary, part of an Advent series titled 'What do you fear? Insisting on Hope this Advent,' draws from Asian cultural birthing traditions to reinterpret the Matthew 2:1-12 narrative. The analysis challenges conventional Western Christian interpretations and offers alternative readings of religious art narratives.
