The greatest Christian mystery resolved! Of all the stories about
Jesus, the transfiguration has been the most difficult to
understand. It contains improbable, miraculous elements: a secret
meeting on a mountain with Moses and Elijah - both long since dead,
God speaking from a cloud, Jesus with his face and clothes
transfigured by heavenly light. The story sits, with curious
inconsistencies, uneasily in the gospels. There are two current
theories: either that it is an allegory or a misplaced
post-resurrection account. The author carefully analyses the text
to show that neither is right and, in the course of his
investigation, causes the pieces of the puzzle to fall dramatically
back into place. The underlying Jewish narrative of the first of
the four canonical gospels is once more revealed. The
transfiguration story is part of the lost ending of Mark, displaced
within the text and modified by later Christian editors. It tells
of the awesome moment when Jesus, his body scarred through
crucifixion by the Romans, came down from Mount Hermon to greet a
waiting crowd.
