Yet there has been surprisingly little written about this key event, and many readers struggle to understand its significance and place in redemptive history, let alone how it might be applied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Patrick Schreiner provides a clear and accessible study of the transfiguration with an eye toward its theological significance and practical application. Namely, this event points to Jesus's double sonship, revealing the preexistent glory of the eternal Son and the future glory of the suffering Messianic Son. Further, the transfiguration points to Christians' own formation and transfiguration. Schreiner traces the transfiguration theme through Scripture and employs hermeneutical, trinitarian, and christological categories to assist his exegesis, thus challenging modern readings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis enlightening study will be of interest to students, pastors, and serious lay readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A contribution to Christology that is as edifying as it is scholarly\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis book challenges reductive modern readings of the transfiguration and shows how the mountain scene is not only about Jesus's glory as man but about his glory as God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Schreiner brilliantly rescues the transfiguration from its undeserved obscurity and second-class status in both biblical studies and dogmatic theology alike.

Schreiner has learned the secret: don't isolate it, but instead read it as having elements of both epiphany and apotheosis, preexistence and consummation, eternal sonship and messianic sonship. A spirited and energetic introduction to this neglected mystery of the life of Jesus.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eFred Sanders\u003c\/b\u003e, Torrey Honors College, Biola University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The reason this is such an important book is not simply that it is an incredibly insightful treatment of an overlooked aspect of Jesus's life (which it is) but because it demonstrates how the transfiguration deeply enriches our understanding of who Jesus is and who we are in him. This wonderful book will open your eyes to the glory of the Lord Jesus and the glory we will one day share with him.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003ePeter Orr\u003c\/b\u003e, Moore Theological College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Christ's transfiguration offers a breadth of theological and exegetical potential.
