Description
Summary:This article charts the emergent engagement of scholars with disability in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting key aspects of the major edited works and monographs in the field. The HB contains numerous texts which focus on disability, sometimes in reference to particular characters, but also in wider tropes without being located in an individual’s body. Scholarship in disability in the HB is a complex and dynamic endeavor, but has value within critical studies of the HB. To close, I offer some suggestions on further growth areas in the discipline.
