Description
The book is divided into four main doctrinal themes: the Doctrine of God, Creation, Soteriology, and Ecclesiology. Rather than positioning disability theology as a subfield of Christian theology, this work frames disability as an embodied experience that offers disabled and non-disabled Christians a perspective from which to interpret the gospel. Though there is no singular approach to disability theology, the authors in this volume affirm it as an embodied way of doing theology.
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. Traditional theological questions and themes - from pneumatology to justification to missiology - are explored using the lens of disability. Each contribution answers the following questions: How does disability reorient Christians to the theme at hand? What new insights on God or human nature can be gleaned from the experience of disability as it relates to this theme? What classic Christian insights around this theme are challenged or reaffirmed using insights from disability?
