This article examines Donald Capps's work on the psychology of major religious figures and the social forces that informed their psychic lives, spiritual worldviews, and teachings. Drawing on four texts that were published between 2000 and 2014, the essay explores Capps's views on the importance of psychobiography to the study of religion and the specific contributions his thinking has made to a greater understanding of the historical Jesus. The article considers Capps's analysis of Jesus's illegitimacy and his role as healer within the society in which he lived and preached. Building on Capps's work, the article also expands on feminist and postcolonial theories that offer insight into the psychosocial development of religious figures whose teachings and beliefs emerged out of their individual life circumstances and the larger socio-political culture in which they lived.
本文考察了唐纳德·卡普斯关于主要宗教人物心理学以及影响其精神生活、精神世界观和教义的社会力量的著作。本文借鉴了2000年至2014年间出版的四部著作，探讨了卡普斯关于心理传记对宗教研究的重要性的观点，以及他的思想对更深入理解历史上的耶稣所做出的具体贡献。文章考虑了卡普斯对耶稣非婚生身份的分析，以及他在其生活和传教的社会中作为医治者的角色。在卡普斯著作的基础上，本文还拓展了女性主义和后殖民理论，这些理论为深入了解那些其教义和信仰源于个人生活境遇及他们所处的更广泛社会政治文化背景的宗教人物的心理社会发展提供了见解。
