To a Discussion on The Light of Tabor

Consoude (Sextidi), 16 Floréal, CCXXXIV

Recently, Fordham University—and specifically the Orthodox Christian Studies Center there—hosted a conversation among Rowan Williams, Jordan Daniel Wood, and my good self. The discussion concerned The Light of Tabor, and its occasion was my opportunistic use of books by my two interlocutors in that volume in service of a strategy of triangulation, setting them in contrast to one another so that I could then leap to the front of the stage, with the flair of a prestidigitator conjuring a rabbit out of thin air or a dove out of a hat (or however that goes), and produce my own answers to the enigmas of Christology. Our master of ceremonies, so to speak, was the dashing Aristotle Papanikolaou, Archbishop Demetrius Chair of Orthodox Theology and Culture, as well as co-director of the Center. The conversation was perhaps getting especially interesting at the point at which it had to come to an end, but there was much already of interest along the way.
