Andreas AndreopoulosCritiques

The Transfiguration, one of the most mysterious miracles of Christ, has been mostly misunderstood for two millennia.“Andreas Andreopoulos approaches the Transfiguration explaining its significance in the continuing experience of the church and in the personal journey of each Christian. He sees the Transfiguration as ‘a timeless story,’ as ‘an event that keeps on happening.’ He writes in a way that is vivid yet profound and often unexpected. Reading his text, I have come to look at Christ’s Transfiguration, and our own, with new eyes and a fresh understanding.” —From the Foreword by Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia

This a beautiful and accessible treatment of the Transfiguration from the perspective of a Greek-Orthodox Christian. Andrepoulos explores the Biblical account, subsequent theological reflections on the event and how the Transfiguration relates to the liturgical practice of worship in the Eastern Church (in the transfiguration God's glory is revealed).
