Book Description:
|
Many would agree that human perfection is unattainable. Yet depictions of human perfection are widespread. Examining both secular culture and the New Testament, Robin Gill explores this paradox. Gill argues that Synoptic accounts of the Transfiguration offer a Christian understanding of perfection with important implications for social ethics.
