John Kleinig suggests that Luke’s account of the Transfiguration alludes to the feast of booths: Luke “alone of the Gospel writers relates that the transfiguration occurred on the eighth day after Peter’s confession of faith (Lk 9:28). The transfiguration was the epiphany of Jesus as God’s Son. It showed Peter, James, and John that the age of the Messiah ahd come when the righteous would be overshadowed by God’s presence and dwell with him in ‘heavenly shelters’ (cf. Lk 16:9), just as the Israelites had dwelt with him in earthly shelters in the desert and at Jerusalem during Booths. And so Peter offered to build ‘shelters’ for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah (Lk 9:33).”

Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
