Baptism offers the distinctive practice of Christian initiation,
rooted in Jesus' own baptism, ministry, death, and resurrection.
Too often, however, people with intellectual disabilities are
excluded from this core Christian practice and so barred from full
inclusion in the life of discipleship. How can the work of the
Triune God in baptism renew Christian imagination toward an embrace
of baptismal identities and vocations among disabled Christians? In
Becoming the Baptized Body Sarah Barton explores how baptismal
theologies and practices shape Christian imagination, identity, and
community. Privileging perspectives informed by disability
experience through theological qualitative research, Becoming the
Baptized Body demonstrates how theology done together can
expansively enliven imagination around baptismal practices and how
they intersect with the human experience of disability. Through a
lively tapestry of stories, theological insights, and partnerships
with Christians who experience intellectual disability, Barton
resists theological abstraction and engages and expands the field
of disability theology. With a methodological commitment to
inclusive research and a focus on ecclesial practice, Barton brings
theologians of disability, biblical accounts of baptism, baptismal
liturgies, and theological voices from across the ecumenical
spectrum in conversation with Christians shaped by intellectual
disability. Becoming the Baptized Body explores how the real-world
experiences of disabled Christians enrich and expand received
Christian theological traditions and illustrates avenues for
vibrant participation and formation for all believers.
