Hardcover Hardcover. New. <i>Anabasis, Theophany, Katabasis</i>. These Greek words for 'ascent' 'revelation of God' and 'descent' outline the scriptural account of Christ's Transfiguration, and form the narrative skeleton of Nes' theological history of its icon. The ascent to Tabor in the Synoptic Gospels (and notably in 2 Peter 1:16-18) gives the disciples the strength to bear and understand the Passion, and reminds them that the Suffering Servant is also King of Glory. As a Feast, the Transfiguration is the commemoration of our <i>theosis</i>-our renewal in the likeness of God. The Christian East places a special emphasis on the Transfiguration in its liturgical life; the icon of the Feast is therefore an interpretation of its cosmic relevance. Nes considers Transfiguration icons from Sinai to Novgorod, from 500 to1400-their structure and composition and the dense soteriological dogmas they convey. From the <i>Festal Menaion</i>: 'Transfigured, Thou hast made the nature that had grown dark in Adam to shine again as lightning, transforming it into the glory and splendor of Thine own divinity.' <i>The Uncreated Light</i> amply demonstrates the dynamic synergy between Image and Word that pervades the Orthodox Tradition.
