About this book
Explosive, esoteric, enigmatic--the Transfiguration event is often greeted with puzzlement. But as a mystery pulsating at the very heart of the gospel--a watershed in Mark, at its very center, the pivotal turning point in Jesus' ministry--it reveals crucial aspects of Christian living. This book uncovers its secrets and unleashes its significance for discipleship in troubled times, looking through the lens of life-giving paradox. This hermeneutical key unlocks unexpected insights and allows transfiguring light to shine into crucial contemporary concerns and crises, as we discover the energy and dynamic of paradox. Drawing on the wisdom and experience of a wide variety of sources--from patristic teachers, spiritual writers, orthodox art and liturgies, present-day scholarship, as well as from the author's years researching in the Holy Land--this resource becomes a kaleidoscope of the Transfiguration, opening widening and challenging perspectives. We discover it to be a vortex of grace, epicenter of revelation: its centrifugal power emanating seismic implications for the universe, its centripetal power drawing all things into Christ, the unifying center of all paradox. Ultimately, we're invited not to solve a puzzle but to live a transformative mystery, ever more deeply, ever more creatively.
