Luke’s Transfiguration Narrative: Some Patristic Perspectives
Tea and coffee from 15.30 in the Hood Room
Luke’s version of the Transfiguration is very distinct from that of the other synoptic evangelists’ narratives. He emphasises the visionary character of the incident and links it through key themes and words to other visionary incidents in his writings. This seminar will explore ways in which early Christian reflection on this text focussed on its particular character with sensitivity, originality and ingenuity. Early commentators and artists often spotted Luke’s interest in the visionary, and used the Transfiguration as a means of interpreting other visionary and prophetic texts in the scriptures.
