Figuring out transfiguration — February 6, 2005
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005The synoptic gospels, and second-century Second Peter, all have some form of this story. They treat it differently, basing it on Mark’s account, but not in the very special way that Mark makes it the turning point in his gospel, according to the Jesus Seminar. The voice from heaven confirms that Jesus is God’s son; it also looks forward to the resurrection.
