Transfiguration of Jesus - Narrative, Meanings and Function of Mark 9 2-8 (Paperback)

This is the first monograph devoted to all three accounts of the transfiguration of Jesus from a narrative-critical, audience-oriented perspective. It proposes a new literary genre designation for all three versions, that of a "pivotal mandatory epiphany," based upon the precedents in Num 22:31-35, Josh 5:13-15, and 2 Macc 3:22-34.
