Description
The Disabled God: Toward a Liberatory Theology of Disability by Nancy L Eiesland This book challenges traditional views of disability and faith, arguing that people with disabilities are part of a socially disadvantaged minority group rather than individuals who need to adjust. By exploring the hidden history of people with disabilities in church and society, Eiesland contends that Christians can encounter the disabled God in the Eucharist and participate in new imaginations of wholeness and justice. Eiesland's work draws on themes from the disability-rights movement to promote a more inclusive understanding of faith and disability. She maintains that the relationship between Christology and social change is vital, and that the disabled God has an emancipatory presence. This book offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of theology and disability, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and address these issues. Through its exploration of the Eucharist and the concept of the disabled God, this book invites readers to consider new possibilities for wholeness and justice in their own lives and communities.
