The Transfiguration of Jesus is one of the most enigmatic stories in the Bible.
Understanding the overall message of this event requires us to understand the cultural context within which it took place.
In this short series, we will explore the cultural context of first-century Israel and how the Transfiguration would have been viewed by its first-century audience.
Today's video lays out a spiritual mind-map of the numerous areas that will inform our understanding of the meaning of the Transfiguration.
We invite you to join us through this series that will help you build a foundation of understanding that will take you deeper into the biblical text and the reality of Jesus as the Messiah.
