Dorothy Lee’s outstanding study of the Transfiguration story in the New Testament explores the idea of Transfiguration as an Epiphany, revealing Jesus’s true identity, and an apocalyptic vision depicting God’s transforming nature.
Investigating each of the four narratives of the Transfiguration and setting the story within the wider literary and theological framework of the text, she analyzes traces of the Transfiguration story found elsewhere in the New Testament, notably the gospel of John, where the symbolism is close to that of the Transfiguration. Lee draws out the symbolism and theological implications of the Transfiguration for an understanding of Christ, God’s radical future and the transformation of all Creation, drawing on the icons of Eastern Christianity, and Western Theologies of beauty.
