Light on the Mountain: Greek Patristic and Byzantine Homilies on the Transfiguration of the Lord

By: Daley Brian E S J

The episode of the Transfiguration of Jesus plays a key role in the narrative of the Synoptic Gospels. Peter and his fellow Apostles have just acknowledged Jesus to be Israel's long-awaited Messiah, and have been shocked by Jesus' immediate prediction of his coming passion and death. Now Peter, James and John are allowed to share an extraordinary vision, marking him out as truly God's own Son, radiant with divine glory.
