My name is David Capes. My friends call me David. My students call me Dr. Capes. My sons call me Dad. I like all three. I use my middle initial “B” because there are other David Capes’s out there.
I grew up in Georgia but now live in Texas where I serve as the Thomas Nelson Research Professor in the Department of Theology at HBU. I have authored, co-authored, edited, co-edited about 13 books and a lot of articles. I was the lead scholar a new Bible translation called THE VOICE, a joint project of Thomas Nelson Publishing and Ecclesia Bible Society. My wife, Cathy, and I have been married 35 years (2012). We love gardening and critters. Not necessarily in that order. We rescue dogs which have been abused, neglected or just need a good home. I love to read the Gabriel Allon novels by Daniel Silva and the John Rebus detective novels by Ian Rankin.
I have three sons who are all grown up. When they become successful, I’m going to live with them.
For about 9 years now I have co-hosted a radio show with two of my best friends, Rabbi Stuart Federow and Father Mario Arroyo. The show airs weekly on 1070 KNTH.
Wow! I’m so glad you have a blog. I look forward to hearing from you now!
David, it is good to see you again. Thanks to Dennis Phelps for posting your recent article on Facebook we can make this connection. You look like all is well.
I didn’t know where else to put this, but HBU had been recognized by on of the most prolific bibliobloggers on the web. Congratulations!
