In this concise study, John Perry enables the reader to see that
the Transfiguration story does not recount an actual event, but was
created to teach an important "symbolic" lesson abou thte Risen
Jesus. To that end, he explains: (1) the conflict within the early
church that called the story into being; (2) the nature ofmidrash
and the role that it played in the formation of the story. Perry
then considers why Mark, the writer of the first Gospel, decided to
modify the Transfiguration story known to him and use it in his
Gospel. Finally, answers are provided for 12 questiosn frequently
prompted by contemporary readings of this story. These answers shed
considerable light on the way the early church went about the task
of preserving and interpreting the sacred history of Jesus.
