In this groundbreaking book, Jill Harshaw explores the spiritual
experiences of people with profound intellectual disabilities with
regard to their capacity to enjoy life-giving spiritual experiences
in their own right. The author expertly argues that our thinking of
spiritual life needs to start not with our assumptions about people
who are unable to speak for themselves, but with what we can know
about God. Stimulating a much-needed discussion, this book explains
why we need to respect individuals with profound intellectual
disabilities as spiritual persons, and stop seeing them simply as
care-receivers or uncomfortable reminders of human vulnerability.
Calling for a more critical approach in practical theology, this
book invites a deeper, genuinely inter-disciplinary dialogue
between new and traditional theological fields, and asks why, after
more than 30 years of intellectual disability theology, the impact
on church life remains minimal so that debates around the right to
basic inclusion continue to dominate. The questions raised in this
book not only move the discussion forward, but will spark a change
on how the Church approaches inclusiveness.
