Charles Capps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Capps is a minor figure in the Word of Faith movement, but one who has had a major influence on the movement through his books. He claims to have been a farmer and land developer before entering full-time ministry. Capps has a ministry, Concepts of Faith and is primarily a seminiar speaker, although he also has a radio program and television program. Capps often speaks on issues related to Biblical prophecy.
For students of the Word of Faith movement, Capps' books are an invaluable resource. In his numerous books, Capps has come close to systematizing Word of Faith theology. Kenneth E. Hagin's books (more accurately transcribed sermons) are dominated by personal anecdote. Capps, while using anecodote, tends to concentrate on systematic exposition of the doctrines of the Word of Faith movement. The books tend to focus on the core doctrines of this movement, and avoid much of the sensationalism and hype of other sources.
[edit] Bibliography
Capps is a prolific author, but his three most important books about the Word of Faith beliefs are:
- The Tongue: A Creative Force
