About this listen

Jesus metamorphosed. Celebrities from the past. Petrified disciples. Luminous cloud. An event as important as Christmas or Easter!

Are you a preacher wondering what you can possibly say new and interesting on Transfiguration this year?

Are you an everyday believer curious to learn more about this holiday celebrated every year, yet somehow overlooked and ignored?

Are you tired of Peter always getting bashed for offering to build booths?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration needs to be at the top of your listening list!

Questions about the Transfiguration answered in the book:

What can it possibly mean for the eternal Lord to be transfigured, metamorphosed—changed?

Why does Luke delete the word “transfigured” from his version of the, um, well, Transfiguration?

Why does only Jesus’ clothing change in Mark’s Gospel, but his face, too, in Matthew and Luke?

Why was it Moses and Elijah, out of all possible Old Testament figures, who met with Jesus on the mountaintop? (Not because they represent “the law and the prophets”!)

Which mountain was it?

Why were Peter, James, and John the only disciples invited to see the Transfiguration?

Why was it so offensive for Peter to offer to build three booths for the three famous men? (Not because he was a babbling idiot!)

Why does God speak to Jesus at his Baptism and his Transfiguration, but not at his Resurrection?

Why doesn’t the Gospel of John have a Transfiguration story? (Or does it?)

Why doesn’t St. Paul talk about the Transfiguration? (Or does he?)

Why does Second Peter, of all oddball little epistles, talk about the Transfiguration?

Will we be transfigured someday, too?

What essential thing does the Transfiguration tell us about Jesus that his Resurrection does not?

New ideas clearly communicated

In “Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration” Sarah Hinlicky Wilson helpfully maps the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus onto the ancient Jewish festivals of Passover, Pentecost, and Sukkot. While Christians have long understood Jesus’s passion within the context of Passover this book demonstrates that the Transfiguration is a glimpse of Sukkot—and not necessarily the resurrected Jesus.

Suffice it to say that the author makes a compelling, fresh argument and communicates her ideas clearly. This book is well worth your time.
