Abstract
AbstractThis article uses Tillich’s method of correlation to analyze the missing center and polarization in American religion and culture and to propose the symbol of transfiguration/transfiguring as a theological response. In partial agreement with Tillich’s and Mark C. Taylor’s theologies, this analysis focuses on the quest for meaning beyond polar opposites. The second part correlates this quest with the symbol of transfiguration as an image of transcendence in the midst of the finite world. The symbol of transfiguring will be compared to Eastern Orthodox deification, Taylor’s figuring, disfiguring, and refiguring, and Tillich’s New Being and Spiritual Presence, focusing on both religious experience and transfiguring actions.
