At first glance the Markan transfiguration scene (Mk. 9:2-8) is all
about light, sound and spectacle. Commentators see revealed in this
scene a sparkling vision of God's glory the light that banishes the
shadow of incomprehension and by which the hidden truth of the
Gospel finally becomes clear. But have commentators been blinded by
their dazzling evaluations of Mark's theology? For, despite all the
splendor and sparkle, the Markan transfiguration remains a
difficult scene to interpret. Transfigured asks what would be seen
if one were to squint past the sun-like glory that dominates this
vision. Wilson focuses on the problematic elements, the gaps and
inconsistencies of the scene, and re-evaluates them in order to
re-read the transfiguration from an altered perspective. The
theoretical work of Jacques Derrida, particularly his notion of
"otherness," which draws together and realigns the reader
(subject), the reading (method), and what is read (text), will be
central to the orientation of this re-reading. Ultimately, the
transfiguration story can be seen ably to accommodate readings that
challenge traditionally prescribed metaphysical structures and
presuppositions. In the end, the application of Derridean theory
issues its own challenges to traditional scholarship in such a way
that the approach to the Markan transfiguration and the theology
one inevitably brings to it, require a certain amount of
reformulation.
