#98 - Midrash on Psalm 43 - Transfiguration (pt. 6) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

In today's lesson, we arrive at what I believe to be the foundation of understanding the overall message of the Transfiguration.

This foundation is Psalm 42&43 and then a subsequent interpretation - called Midrash - of Psalm 43.

The number of details shared between the Rabbinic interpretation of Psalm 43 and what we find in the Gospels, and the Transfiguration is simply remarkable.Finally, in this lesson, we will see how a translation issue can help us understands Peter's behavior and his question about putting up tents.
