I have a nativity set made out of wax and a couple of the wisemen are broken. What can I do to put them back together? Is there a certain type of glue I can buy?

Hmmm, can you heat the wax and put them back together as the was softens and melts a bit?

That's what I would try.

get some cheap childrens wax crayons and find one that is the nearest color or melt some to get the color needed, this can be done by putting some of the crayon into a glass dish and melting it in the microwave for just a few second , whilst the wax is hot dip both broken sections into the hot wax and press them together in the correct position. any waste wax can be removed with a sharp blade and then buff to a shine with a soft cloth
Hope this will solve your problem.
