Our Bibles consistently use the noun ‘Transfiguration’ with regard to Jesus but ‘Transformation’ with regard to the Christian – and yet it is one and the same verb, transliterated ‘metamorphosed,’ that is used in those places in the original text. Why is that so? Is there an important difference between them? And why does the noun ‘metamorphosis’ which is familiar to us never occur in the New Testament? And yet is there some connection between the Transfiguration of Jesus and the Transformation of the Christian?

Hywel R. Jones presents answers to these questions in this book. In the course of doing so he shows how the divine can penetrate the human without destroying it as in the Person of Christ, and how the human can become conformed to the divine without its ceasing to be human as in the case of the Christian. That kind of metamorphosis accords and exalts the Christian gospel over against the humanism of our culture, whether secularised or spiritualised.

There is a distinction between God and Man which will never be obliterated but preserved for ever – even in the glorified Christ in whom they are joined. But communion between the God-Man and his believing people will result in each Christian being fully conformed to the perfect humanity of Christ while retaining his or her own individuality. It will not result in a faceless absorption into the divine but face to face communion with the triune God for ever.

‘The transfiguration of Christ shows how the divine can penetrate the human without destroying it. The transformation of the believer shows how the human can become conformed to the divine without its ceasing to be human. This is the ultimate metamorphosis that is compatible with Christian truth.’ — HYWEL R. JONES

Linking the Transfiguration of Christ to our transformation as believers in Christ is intriguing to say the least. I’ll confess that I never thought of the connection before I came across this book. The connection isn’t fabricated as both spring from the same word in the New Testament...This book addresses more scholarly concerns than I am used to seeing in a BOT volume, but it is an interesting study. I always appreciate someone who can open the Bible and show me something I have never put together before. That is what happens here. Jimmy R. Reagan

Durable
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
My hound dog seems to like hers. She greets me at the door every day with it in her mouth and she hasn’t been able to tear it up or get any little pieces in her mouth when she nib nibs on the edges. It doesn’t have a smell. It is hard. It seems safe I guess since they can’t pick it up with their paws and pop each other over the head with it but if you have an intruder it would be great to have in hand.

Surprisingly Tough Without Being Too Hard
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
The hardness on this bone is right in the sweet spot for aggressive chewers. It’s firm and durable enough that my dog hasn’t been able to tear chunks off or destroy it quickly, but it’s not rock-hard to the point where I’d worry about teeth damage. My dog usually goes through most toys pretty fast, and this one has held up really well. After extended chewing sessions, it only shows minor wear instead of deep cracks or breakage. It keeps his attention without splintering or becoming unsafe. If you’re looking for a bone that can handle strong jaws while still being safe for aggressive chewers, this one strikes a good balance and has been a solid option so far.

Not completly indestructible but good buy
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Dogs loved this. I have 5 pot mixed and they all have enjoyed this. I ordered two more after they enjoyed the first one so much. So far my dogs have not been as destructive as they have been in the past (especially on my couches). I have been home more recently so it could be a combination, but I think the bones have been helpful. Sturdier than the red Kong toys, but not as indestructible as the black kongs. As durable or more than the ruff dawg balls, and much more affordable than all of those. Also, some of my dogs are more selective on toys, but this one was an immediate hit, even with my dog that has shown now interest in ANY chew toy. We even walked through pet smart one day, and i tried to get him to play with every toy on the shelf- and he was not impressed. I even showed him the scented toys that cost $40-50 each. Happy that he took to this immediately. Keep an eye out. I heard one of my dogs hacking and coughing from the other room, but by the time I heard it and got to the room, it wasn’t clear what he was choking on. I had three of these bones in the room at the time, but there was also food and such around so hard to tell. Recommend supervising your dog with the toy in the beginning at least.

Lasts with a pitbull
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Good for very aggressive chewers. Even large, strong jawed dogs. My 70lb pitbull loves them and they usually last 6 months before we have to replace (because she's chewed slowly down the ends) Would recomment!
