“Disability theology is not just a celebration of difference; it is also an exploration of God’s embodied human experience while simultaneously interrogating and informing humanity’s experience with God. The doctrine of incarnation is the story of a God who is born, a God who bleeds, and a God who is buried in a human body. God’s connection with and appreciation for the human body is perhaps the most important element of our faith. Disability theology is not just a novelty. It is essential to Christianity, particularly in the Western world. Able-bodied Christians should study disability theology not just to answer questions related to why certain bodies don’t work or why certain bodies aren’t well; instead, disability theology serves as a means of exploring how God works through bodies—all bodies. Christians can actually learn more about the divinity of Jesus that way.”
