Description
Summary:This article highlights how Disability in the Christian Tradition helps open important reconsiderations of traditions of theology in light of disability. It focuses on two themes. In the first instance, it explores the contours of the past's relation with the present as it is expressed generally in the volume. In the second, the article interrogates theological anthropology in light of disability, questioning whether Christian theology attends adequately to disability by foregrounding human worth “outside” of disability and by treating it in isolation from its intersection with other features of embodied life, such as race, sexuality, gender, and class.
