About
How would it look if we "disabled" Christian theology, discipleship, and theological education? Benjamin Conner initiates a new conversation between disability studies and Christian theology and missiology, imagining a church that fully incorporates persons with disabilities into its mission. In this vision, people with disabilities are part of the church's pluriform witness, and the congregation embodies a robust hermeneutic of the gospel.

"As a Quaker and disability scholar, I found this to be a fascinating and useful read. Among other important topics, Conner provides an excellent discussion of evangelism with Deaf people and people with intellectual disabilities. The author helps us understand both the challenge and the opportunity of a fully inclusive church."

"Ben Conner is an important emerging voice within the field of disability theology. In this book he once again opens up fresh space for reflection on disability and how it relates to the theology and mission of the church. This is a significant book that not only reveals Conner as a top-notch practical theologian, but, if read and acted upon, will truly make a difference to church and society."
