Description

Devan Stahl and Sarah Jean Barton curate contributions from leading academics to frame disability as an embodied experience that offers disabled and non-disabled Christians a perspective from which to interpret the gospel.

They divide the work into four main doctrinal themes: the Doctrine of God, Creation, Soteriology, and Ecclesiology. Though there is no singular approach to disability theology, the authors in this volume affirm it as an embodied way of doing theology.
The contributions address key questions: How does disability reorient Christians to these temes? What new insights on God or human nature can be gleaned from the experience of disability as it relates to these themes? What classic Christian insights around this theme are challenged or reaffirmed using insights from disability?

Chapter authors explore the difference disability makes for understanding God's nature, who we are as creatures before God, and the praxis of Christian communities. They explore traditional theological questions - from pneumatology to justification to missiology - through the lens of disability.
