The Transfiguration of Jesus: Narrative Meaning and Function of Mark 9:2-8, Matt 17:1-8 and Luke 9:28-36 (Analecta Biblica, 144)

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.
