This book is a study of a Christian theology without words,
focussing on theology in the Deaf Community. Deaf people's first
and preferred method of communication is not English or any other
spoken language, but British Sign Language - a language that cannot
be written down. Deaf people of faith attend church on a regular
basis, profess faith in God and have developed unique approaches to
doing theology. While most Western theology is word-centred and is
either expressed through or dependent on written texts, theology in
the Deaf Community is largely non-written. This book presents and
examines some of that theology from the Deaf Community and argues
that written texts are not necessary for creative theological
debate, a deep spirituality or for ideas about God to develop.
