Description
Trade Review'the book is timely and important...every word of which needs to be mediated on and studied. [Lee] makes a convincing case for seeing the Transfiguration as an integrating image for the whole of theology...In an age where theology has become fragmented, largely thanks for the need for ever hreater specialisation, this is a message that we all need to hear.' Alexander Lucie-Smith, Tangaza College, Kenya, Heythrop Journal
'[A] profound biblical meditation by an insightful scholar...Lee's book presents an impressive array of relevant implications of the broad theme of transfiguration in the New Testament.' John Paul Heil, Interpretation, July 2006 -- John Paul Heil * Interpretation *
'Lee should be credited for brining the transfiguration theme back into theological focus in a context that has often treated it as strange, foreign or insignificant...this reader found the chapter actually focusing on theology in its own right, how it has explored or neglected the theme of transfiguration, the most refreshing, original and 'new'.' ~ Jorunn Økland, Vol 28.5, 2006 -- Jorunn Økland * Journal for the Study of the New Testament *
''Dorothy Lee's short book is a sane, scholarly, but accessible discussion, which makes it clear how important the transfiguration was to the New Testament writers, and which goes a long way towards showing how and why it may be important for Christians today....The strength of her book lies...in the well-informed, insightful exegesis of the different accounts within the narrative context of each Gospel and book...admirably concise. I hope it will be read, and that it will help restore the transfiguration to its rightful place at the heart of Christian theology.' David Wenham, Theology, Jan/Feb 2006 -- David Wenham * Theology *
