A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed. They saw him talking to two strangers, who the disciples knew without question were Moses and Elijah, and heard the voice of God.

The Second Epistle of Peter indirectly reports this event (1:16-21), but scholars say that 2 Peter was certainly written during the second century, long after the death of Peter. As evidence of this, the epistle contains almost the entire text of the epistle known as Jude, which clearly identifies itself as a work of the second century. Regardless of the dating, it is not credible that Peter would have copied so much from another epistle. We are left to understand that the anonymous author of 2 Peter wrote from what he knew about the transfiguration from the gospels. Peter himself never reported that he had seen the Transfiguration.

Why could the Transfiguration cause problems for Christians today?

The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event in the gospels, in which Jesus took Peter, John and James up a mountain, where they saw his appearance change and he spoke to Moses and Elijah. They heard the voice of God from heaven. It is reported that over 90 per cent of scholars now believe that the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt never took place. Without an Exodus, you have no Moses. And without Moses, how could the story of the Transfiguration be true? And if the story of the Transfiguration is not true, then how much more of the gospel stories is not true. This is why the Transfiguration may cause problems for Christians today.
