Description
Glory is a word of many shades of meaning, which lexicographers struggle to separate sharply. In the English Bible it translates Hebrew terms of the Old Testament and the Greek doxa of the New Testament. A Catholic Encyclopedia article treats it only in its ethical and religious senses, as Scripture and theology use it.
Sometimes it means a visible brightness, as in the glory of the Lord dwelling on Sinai or the Transfiguration on Mount Thabor. Often it means the witness creation bears to its Creator. It can also mean a manifestation of divine majesty through the incarnate Son, as in John 1:14. It also means praise given to God, judgment on personal worth, and finally the blessedness of the future life in union with God.
