Challenges stigma around disability in the church

You will embrace a more inclusive view of faith

This book offers a fresh perspective on disability and faith.

Inspiring and challenging study that rethinks the Bible?'s teaching on disability
A theologian whose life experience includes growing up alongside a brother with Down syndrome, Amos Yong in this book rereads and reinterprets biblical texts about human disability, arguing that the way we read biblical texts, not the Bible itself, is what causes us to marginalize persons with disabilities. Revealing and examining the underlying stigma of disability that exists even in the church, Yong shows how the Bible offers good news to people of all abilities and he challenges churches to become more inclusive communities of faith.
