Whereas a theology of transfiguration has long been an essential part of the Eastern theologoical tradition  it has often seemed strange to our Western rational minds.  The book argues that the transfiguration functions as an epiphany revealing Jesus true identity and also an apocalyptic vision  depicting Gods transforming future. A chapter is devoted to each of the four New Testament narratives of the transfiguration  setting the story within the wider literary and theological framework of the text. Traces of the transfiguration are examined in other parts of the New Testament  particularly in The Gospel of John  where the symbolism is close to that of the transfiguration. Finally  the author draws out the symbolism and theological implications of the transfiguration for an understanding of Christ  Gods radical future and the transformation of all creation  drawing on the icons of Eastern Christianity and Western theologies of beauty.  This book is a small masterpiece and a model of clarity and lucid exposition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665809367093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0826475957","price":117.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780826475954.jpg?v=1782408110","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/transfiguration-new-century-theology-9780826475954","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
