Recovered audio | Jamie Howison
In his bestselling book Velvet Elvis, the writer Rob Bell says of Robert Farrar Capon, “Go out and buy all his books and read them immediately.” The journal The Living Church called Capon “a joyfully outrageous Christian teacher”, while of his work The New York Times Book Review said the following: “Theology, Capon says, is a word game, the most serious word game of all, and he plays it very well indeed.”
In the fall of 2000, my wife Catherine and I visited Shelter Island, New York to spend two days with Robert and Valerie Capon, talking about life and faith, and sharing great food and a bottle or three of good wine. What follows here is the one hour in those two days which we committed to tape… the interviewer is admittedly a bit stiff, but Robert is in fine form.
