Humor Us

Christian Living

“Donald Capps provides more than 'molecules of hope' as he invites the reader into his own 'gospel of relaxation.' In a playful manner that combines serious scholarship about the healing power of humor and imagination with a sense of hopefulness, Capps argues persuasively that a reluctant partnership exists between religion and humor. This partnership serves as an antidote to twenty-first-century anxiety.”

The Resourceful Self

“Capps offers the reader an in-depth and insightful study of how children develop resourceful selves that reflects his five-decades-long scholarly conversation with the works of Freud and Erikson. This work demonstrates Capps's own creative 'way of seeing things' and the artistry of a mature pastoral theologian.”
