Description

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. Highlights the hidden history of people with disabilities in church and society. 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.

In Pittsburgh, PA there’s a lovely and inspiring overlook of the Three Rivers. There’s a bronze statue there of George Washington speaking with Guyasuta, the Seneca leader. I liked several fresh Point of View takeaways from the book. I look more closely now when I read Christian and other scriptures for even more insights I’ll call healthy and functional movement, functional performance, and functional skills— to steal a strength and conditioning concept. The book is worth reading.
