We are back with author Sarah Hinlicky Wilson to talk about her kickstarter book on the Transfiguration. 

We talk about the parallel of Jesus' baptism, and the transfiguration, and how God the Father speaks in both situations. We talk on the play on words with the Greek of booths/tents/tabernacle, and what Jesus was also showing them about himself during this Transfiguration.

The line is drawn between the Transfiguration and the Crucifixion, and how the transfigured Jesus is different than the accounts of the resurrected Jesus. There was a kindness shown during the Transfiguration, even though they were afraid, and Jesus picks them up.

This is a story reminding us that there are some stories that are about God alone. This is a story for us, but not a story about us.
