Summary

Christianity Today 2025 Award of Merit (Biblical Studies) 
 
"Makes welcome strides in recentering the glory revealed in Jesus's transfiguration."-- Christianity Today 
 
All three Synoptic Gospels tell the story of Jesus's transfiguration. Yet there has been surprisingly little written about this key event, and many readers struggle to understand its significance and place in redemptive history, let alone how it might be applied. 
 
Here, Patrick Schreiner provides a clear and accessible study of the transfiguration with an eye toward its theological significance and practical application. Namely, this event points to Jesus's double sonship, revealing the preexistent glory of the eternal Son and the future glory of the suffering Messianic Son. Further, the transfiguration points to Christians' own formation and transfiguration. Schreiner traces the transfiguration theme through Scripture and employs hermeneutical, trinitarian, and christological categories to assist his exegesis, thus challenging modern readings. 
 
This enlightening study will be of interest to students, pastors, and serious lay readers.
Available since: 02/27/2024.
Print length: 208 pages.

    The Essence of Buddhist...

    Buddha isn't depicted as a deity, but rather as a human being, just like each one of us. He experiences the same emotions and trials as we do. Drawing closer to Buddha involves confronting hardship and pain. By acknowledging our own suffering, we allow the Buddha within us to address its source, understand its roots, and guide us towards peace, joy, and liberation. 
In the Discourse on Turning the Wheel of the Dharma, a sutra found in the Buddhist scripture Samyutta Nikaya, we learn of Buddha's journey to enlightenment. Originally named Siddhartha Gautama, Buddha embarked on a quest at the age of 29 to alleviate his own suffering and that of others. After six years of meditation and study under various teachers, he attained enlightenment. 
Buddha then shared his insights with the five ascetics he had practiced with before. He imparted the Four Noble Truths: the reality of suffering, the causes of suffering, the possibility of alleviating suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path leading to liberation.

    La siguiente narración verídica, de la pluma de Legh Richmond, ofrece un relato claro y dulce de la misericordia del Señor manifestada al rescatar a uno de Sus tiernos corderos de la "zarpa del león." "Dirige su curso, oh Dios mío. Que el ojo que lee y el oído que escucha el relato de la pequeña Jane, por el poder del Espíritu del Dios Altísimo, se conviertan cada uno en testigo de la verdad tal como es en Jesús", fue su oración. Que el Señor cumpla esta petición, y use esta reimpresión para el bien de muchos, y para la gloria de Su Nombre.
