The Disabled God: Toward a Liberatory Theology of Disability by Nancy L. Eiesland

4.0

This is an important book with a lot of important things to say. I felt like it could have comprised more diversity -- the two people whose narratives are shared are both white cisgender women, which the author acknowledges, but including more perspectives would have provided a more compelling and relatable text. The book wasn't as helpful to me as it might be for someone who is Christian (which I am not), but it was useful to have read it and to get this perspective on disability theology which affirmed a lot of the issues that have come up for me in predominantly-Christian spaces that are optimized for TAB (temporarily able-bodied) people and not for disabled people like me. I am definitely eager for more recommendations on this topic, especially those which represent a wider diversity of racial, gender, and religious perspectives.
