The question of resurrected life has bulked large in recent debates in disability theology. The authors in this extremely rich volume push the cutting edge of that debate a big step forward by asking not only how Christians should think about the resurrected life for those with physical and intellectual disabilities, but also of those with mental illness, whose conditions are very much part of their identity. A landmark work drawing together some of the most important voices in the debate today.

Hope is a precious thing that is limited by what we can imagine. The chapters in this book open up the possibilities for what can be hoped for by people with disabilities, including mental, cognitive, psychiatric ones, along with their caregivers, family members, partners, and lovers, and this inspires new potentialities for flourishing for us all in the present life. Theology comes alive in powerful ways to enable the thriving of neuro-and-body diverse persons and their communities in the here and now thanks to the witness borne in these pages!

Disability Theology and Eschatology is a remarkable collection that pushes the boundaries of theological thought on the intersection of disability and resurrection. With scholarly insight and compassionate depth, Aaron Brian Davis and Preston Hill, along with the contributing authors, explore how disabilities might not only exist but be honoured in the eschaton. This volume is essential for anyone seeking a nuanced, hopeful perspective on disability and identity in the scope of Christian eschatology. A profoundly thought-provoking contribution to disability theology.

Disability Theology and Eschatology is a welcome addition to the maturing theology of disability literature. Davis and Hill have pulled together a valuable collection dedicated to thinking how disability might not only be compatible with but contribute to the hope, justice, and flourishing Christians look forward to in the eschaton. While the collection as a whole focuses primarily on cognitive and psychiatric disabilities, it contains valuable insights on a wide range of disabilities, the history of eschatology, and theological methodology.

Disability theology is flourishing in 21st century, but important gaps remain in the literature. Many disability theologians have argued that some disabilities may remain in the afterlife, but few have treated this idea systematically, and still fewer have considered the place of psychiatric disabilities within eschatology. Disability Theology and Eschatology: Hope, Justice, and Flourishing helps to fill both gaps by offering a sustained attention to the place of disabled bodies in the eschaton and the inclusion of psychiatric disability within disability theology. Authors in this volume creatively weave together theology, philosophy, disability studies, and psychiatric literature to drive home the point that rather than a natural evil, disability can be beautiful, resourceful, and meaningful in this life and the next. This volume is an important resource for those who wish to further the cause of disability justice in our churches and will offer hopeful resources for disabled Christians and those that care about and for them.
