“Where were Elijah and Moses?”

Well, Elijah was on the other side of that hill, wasn’t he?!. As for Moses, well that’s a different matter isn’t it? No question he was dead and buried, but we are told he showed up at the Transfiguration. The consensus patrum seems to indicate that neither Elijah nor Moses were there in fact, but rather allegorically, relating to the nature of Christ. I posted some of the relevant writings a few weeks back, perhaps on this thread.

But what does scripture say?
