Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability

By Robert C. Anderson

Book Overview

Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability examines graduate schools of theology and their limited familiarity with the study of disability--and the presence of people with disabilities in particular--on their campuses. Dubbed a "missing note" by one theologian, this text offers critical research and illuminates new pathways for theologia and practice in the community of faith. Reviews of previous literature, theology, and practices illuminate how people with disabilities have historically been marginalized by the religious community. Theologians, people with disabilities, and researchers offer suggestions for incorporating disability studies into theological education and religious life.
