Latin Legacy of Exegesis of the Transfiguration of Christ after Augustine

This fourth and last article in the four-part series concludes the publication of my research findings on the Transfiguration of Christ as given in the 51st Homily of St Leo the Great, only a couple of decades after the falling asleep of Augustine of Hippo.
After taking note of Leo’s christological interest in the Transfiguration, I conclude with a contrast with what has become the Greek-authors’ legacy which became dogmatic for the Orthodox church in the 14th century, the era of the Hesychastic Controversy. Those Constantinopolitan synods yielded what has become Orthodox Christian dogma and canonized the work of St Gregory (Palamas) the Wonderworker. It was only at that time when this dogma became clear as the insufficiency of the Augustinian-Latin position was exposed and corrected. To date, the lack of any extended study of the Transfiguration in the Latin-writing tradition leaves incomplete a foundational and indispensable stage of scholarship which necessarily must precede a meaningful discussion of the differences between the Roman Catholic, along with Protestant Christian communities, and the Orthodox-Catholic Church.
