The transfiguration is one of the more puzzling passages in the Gospels. Moses and Elijah appear, and Jesus is suddenly glowing? What is that all about? When we are rooted in the background of the Hebrew Bible and the ongoing context of Mark, it all makes much more sense than we might normally suspect. The Eikon Team jumps into this passage and shows this passage makes perfect sense in Mark's ongoing challenge to the church. They then consider how this passage both encourages and calls the contemporary church higher. They even explain how Paul's baptism for the dead in 1 Corinthians 15:29 might play into all of this.
