The Transfiguration is one of the 12 Great Feasts of Eastern Orthodoxy. It is that moment when Christ's divine glory was especially manifest, when the uncreated light of the Godhead shone visibly through the garments of his flesh. Andreopoulos helps us to ascend the mountain, see the vision of light, then descend. 164 pages, softcover. Paraclete.

This misunderstood moment—is essential to what it means to be Christian

The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the most impressive and mysterious miracles of Christ, and yet one of the least known and understood biblical events. Yet, it spawned a long tradition of spiritual ascent and contemplative prayer. This book examines the Transfiguration in the context of the Gospel, Christian spirituality, and the traditions of the church.

Andreopoulos explains the Transfiguration—the revelation of the full divinity of Christ in front of his disciples—as a continuous event. He also explains threads that are common in the event of the Transfiguration and in other parts of the gospels, such as "the voice of the Father" heard first at John’s baptism of Jesus. This Is My Beloved is a book that bridges East and West in its pursuit of understanding the power and meaning of what transfiguration meant then, and now.
