David B. Capes is een vooraanstaand Nieuwtestamenticus die zich intensief bezighoudt met theologische en bijbelstudies. Zijn werk duikt vaak in fundamentele figuren en concepten binnen het christendom, waarbij hij hun betekenis door de eeuwen heen onderzoekt. Capes benadert zijn onderwerp met een grondige tekstuele analyse, gericht op het verhelderen van de blijvende relevantie van oude wijsheid voor hedendaags begrip. Zijn academische bijdragen en actieve deelname aan interreligieuze dialoog onderstrepen een toewijding aan het bevorderen van dieper inzicht en gedeeld spiritueel begrip.
For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, prickly, and unpredictable. But maybe it's time to get to know Paul on his own terms. Drawing on the best of contemporary scholarship, and with language shaped by conversations with today's students, this second edition of Rediscovering Paul gives fresh consideration to Paul’s conversion, call, and his ongoing impact on church and culture.
For the past century, scholars have debated when and how a divine Christology emerged. This book considers the earliest evidence we have, the letters of Paul. David Capes, a veteran teacher and highly regarded scholar, examines Paul's letters to show how the apostle constructed his unique portrait of Jesus as divine through a rereading of Israel's Scriptures. This new addition to the Acadia Studies in Bible and Theology series is ideal for use in courses on Paul, Christology, biblical theology, and intertextuality.
The book delves into the motivations and visions behind The Voice translation, featuring in-depth interviews with key participants.
