Abstract

Abstract Since the inception of the field of disability theology, questions have been raised about the place of disabilities in the resurrection. Some scholars contend that disability is a direct consequence of the fall of humanity and thus consider disability as incongruous with life in a perfect and redeemed creation. Other scholars, however, see disability as part of the natural diversity of humanity and allow for the retention of at least some disabilities in the future kingdom. In his 2019 volume Woundrously Wounded, Brian Brock attempts to redirect discussions about disability to the present kingdom encouraging believers to consider anew the place of people with disabilities in church communities. Brock proposes that using Paul’s Body of Christ imagery serves as a useful model for church communities with its emphasis on valuing, including, and celebrating all members. The challenge of the Body of Christ is to recognize that all members are dependent and interconnected and that human abilities and disabilities do not hinder God’s work in and through the Body to bring about his purposes. This paper will give a brief overview of both the elimination and retention models of disability as well as outlining Brock’s challenge to refocus attention on the Body of Christ as the inclusive model for living for churches in the today.
残疾神学中的空间、地点和物质秩序:在复活和基督的身体中定位残疾
自残障神学领域成立以来,残障在复活中的地位问题就一直被提出。一些学者认为残疾是人类堕落的直接后果,因此认为残疾与完美和救赎的创造中的生命是不协调的。然而,其他学者将残疾视为人类自然多样性的一部分,并允许在未来的王国中至少保留一些残疾。在他2019年出版的《重伤》一书中,布莱恩·布洛克试图将关于残疾的讨论转移到当前的王国,鼓励信徒重新考虑残疾人在教会社区中的地位。Brock建议使用保罗基督身体的形象作为教会团体的一个有用的模式,强调重视、包括和庆祝所有的成员。基督身体的挑战是认识到所有的肢体都是相互依赖和相互联系的,人的能力和残疾不会阻碍神在身体里和通过身体来实现他的目的。本文将简要概述残疾的消除和保留模式,并概述布洛克的挑战,即重新将注意力集中在基督的身体上,作为今天教会生活的包容性模式。
