En 27 minutes à la fois drôles, riches, profondes, stimulantes, l'enquête documentaire intitulée We Three Kings fait le tour de la question des Rois mages, entre histoire, théologie et légendes.
Ian Hislop est sur le terrain à Colchester, mais aussi à Cologne. Il parle avec des historiens, des théologiens, l'Archevêque de Cantorbéry et un vendeur sur un marché de Noël.
Distrayant sans être superficiel, pédagogique sans être pesant, impertinent sans être accusatoire, demandez cela à France Culture...
Ian Hislop examines the myths and realities surrounding the Three Kings of the Christmas story.
They merit only a small mention in the Bible but they have had a huge impact on our understanding of Christ's birth story, so much so that they even have their own feast day. Ian examines 2,000 years of the telling of their story to see how history has shaped the legend of the Kings. Along the way he meets theologians, historians, the Archbishop of Canterbury and, curiously, a lot of people from Colchester.
