Description
Résumé:Equestrian sport is unique in many ways among the sporting disciplines, but is rarely inspected by theologians. The author undertakes one of the first studies of Christian theology, disability, and equestrian sports. She considers four themes (interdependence, vulnerability, mutual enabling, and normalcy) through case study and theory and highlights central features of equestrian sport. The author starts by investigating disability and equestrian sport, before using results of this study to re-examine frequently discussed theological issues such as inclusion, vulnerability, faith, trust, and healing. Bringing theology, disability, and equestrian sport into dialogue amplifies voices that support, challenge, and provoke important topics in academic and practical theology.
