    You'll never read scripture the same way again!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2012*

I recently found Capon's books and have been reading them all.Capon is an interesting bird!  He takes scripture seriously and makes no apologies for his belief that it is inspired by the Holy Spirit.  He's very scholarly, often quoting from the original Greek, and he is a brilliant thinker as well.  On the other hand he interprets scripture in a way that is radically different from Evangelical Christianity's interpretation and different from about every other interpretation I have read of as well.  Capon's belief is that it is our death that's our "ticket" to the kingdom - that Jesus has joined us in the one place we will all go - death - so that we can all join him in his resurrection whereas Evangelical Christianity's belief is that it's one's personal acceptance of Jesus death and resurrection that's the ticket.  OK, so I just greatly simplified all that but I hope you get the idea.Capon talks about Jesus taking a "left handed" approach to his messiah-ship.  That is Capon says a "right handed" approach would have been what John the Baptist was expecting - someone who was going to kick butt and clean house!  Another term I would equate with "right handed" approach would be the traditional "heroic" approach.  Capon says that Jesus did start out his ministry using a more right handed approach, i.e. working miracles, doing healing, etc. but that at a certain point switched to a left handed one, i.e. a messiah who was going to die - an approach that his disciples never got till after the crucifixion and resurrection if at all.  Capon skillfully shows where most of Jesus parables ultimately dealt with this life/death issue.I can't do justice to Capon's ideas in this review - I'm not that smart or gifted - but I highly recommend reading this book (and his others as well).  Whether you agree with him or not, reading this book will enlighten much about Jesus parables and message and consequently you will never read scripture the same way afterwards.

    Great book, but not for everyone.
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2014*

I have been teaching in the Grace book for about three months and it has been interesting.  This is a scholarly work and would be at least an upper division text in school.  What I mean is it isn't a beginners class book that would work in a class were everyone just gives their own interpretation of a verse.  The author has a little A.D.D., and writes like he's thinking out loud and does use exaggeration and hyperbole to make his points.  It seems to be in the same vein as  The Ragamuffin Gospel and Three Free Sins.  It stresses Chriistianity as the anti -religion.  I have only taught from seven chapters and have discovered that my interpretation of the parables is only correct about half of the time.  The majority of my students who have trouble with the author are those from strict fundamentalist background and those that are uncomfortable with his flippant dismissals of church tradition. Love him or hate him, he is interesting and far above the tripe that you find in Christian Bookstores.  TheI three part book is the only one available, I have had to go to the aftermarket sellers to provide my students with copies of the The Parables Of Grace.
