David B. Capes
David B. Capes is an American New Testament scholar of the late twentieth and early twenty first century, working within the broadly evangelical tradition with a strong commitment to the authority of Scripture.
He is best known for his work on the use of the Old Testament in the New, particularly in relation to Christology and early Christian interpretation. His scholarship combines careful historical exegesis with sensitivity to how Scripture functions as a unified canon. Capes has served both the academy and the church, teaching future pastors while contributing to major commentary and reference projects. His writing reflects a disciplined engagement with Greek texts, Second Temple Judaism, and early Christian confession.
What continues to commend Capes is his clarity and restraint. He handles complex intertextual questions without speculative excess and keeps theological conclusions tethered closely to the biblical text. His work is especially valued by pastors who want help thinking carefully about how the New Testament authors read and proclaimed Israel’s Scriptures, without losing sight of Christ or the gospel’s pastoral centre.
Notable works include Old Testament Yahweh Texts in Paul’s Christology, Rediscovering Paul, and his contribution to the Word Biblical Commentary on Philippians.
