Description
Transfiguration and Transformation explores the relationship between Jesus' Transfiguration and the Christian's transformation. How do these two concepts, rooted in the same Greek verb 'metamorphosed', differ yet remain connected? Hywel R. Jones delves into this question to reveal how the divine can penetrate humanity without destroying it, and how humans can become conformed to the divine while retaining their individuality.
Jones argues that communion between God and humanity is possible, resulting in each Christian being fully conformed to Christ's perfect humanity while maintaining their own identity. This ultimate metamorphosis is compatible with Christian truth, offering a face-to-face communion with the triune God for ever.
This book presents answers to these questions, shedding light on the nature of transformation and its connection to Jesus' Transfiguration. It provides insight into how the divine can penetrate humanity without destroying it, and how humans can become conformed to the divine while remaining human.
