  1. Transfiguring the Transfiguration
    Reading Luke 9:35 Adversus Marcionem

    In this article, I consider the surprising and striking ways in which the final words of the Lucan transfiguration account, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him" (Luke 9:35), have been read along the same lines as the interpretation of the famous, second-century, anti-Jewish "arch-heretic" Marcion. Drawing on Tertullian's well-known work against Marcion, I discuss key aspects of this "heretic's" interpretation, along with the manner in which Tertullian, among others, actually reads a significant element in the verse cum Marcione rather than adversus Marcionem. I contend that following Marcion at this point does not do justice to the presentation of the Lucan Jesus in its Second Temple context, nor to the Gospel according to Luke itself. I conclude that, when reading the conclusion of the Lucan transfiguration account, one should read adversus Marcionem and leave this "Marcionite" reading behind.

    Scholars have attempted to identify traditions that could possibly stand behind the Synoptic transfiguration pericope. However, they have not come to a consensus about this issue; consequently, there is significant disagreement about what tradition(s) may have influenced the pericope. In this article, I argue that the Yahwistic divine council motif in the Hebrew Bible should be considered as a likely source that almost certainly influenced the Synoptic transfiguration pericope in terms of its elements and structure. The benefit of this novel approach is that it coherently accounts for several crucial elements that appear in the pericope.
