Disabled God, The : Toward a Liberation Theology of Disability
Outline : In The Disabled God, Eiesland draws on themes of the disability-rights movement to identify people with disabilities as members of a socially disadvantaged minority group rather than as individuals who need to adjust. in doing so, she highlights the hidden history of people with disabilities in church and society and points the way to a fuller vision of humanity and justice. Integrating the intellectual and personal. as well as the political and spiritual, her work draws on social scientific, theological. and ethical sources in service of a liberatory theology of physical disability. Proclaiming the emancipatory presence of the disabled God, the author maintains the vital importance of the relationship between Christology and social change. Eiesland contends that in the Eucharist, Christians encounter the disabled God and may participate in new imaginations of wholeness and new embodiments of justice.
