Since the emergence of disability studies over the last several
decades, disability theorists have often settled for sweeping
generalizations about "biblical" notions of disability. Yet,
academic or critical biblical scholarship has shown that many texts
involving disability in the Bible is much more nuanced than a
casual reading or isolated proof texting may indicate. A primary
goal of this volume is to familiarize a wide audience, including
advanced students, scholars, clergy, and interested lay readers,
with research on disability and the Bible done by scholars who
specialize in biblical studies.
The primary aim of this volume is to synthesize the two fields of
disability studies and biblical studies. It illustrates how
academic or critical biblical scholarship has shown that many texts
involving disability in the Bible is much more nuanced than a
casual reading or isolated proof texting may indicate.
