Such a comparison may be problematic in some respects, but debates surrounding sexuality and the ethics of prenatal testing demonstrate that parallels exist in the ways that intersex bodies and disabled bodies are understood. Jürgen Moltmann's work is used to argue that justice-oriented eschatological theologies for intersex people must figure their bodies non-pathologically, always asking about what is better, and that this focus might fruitfully include closer attention to the stories and testimonies of intersex people themselves.","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"519 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123129883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article points to the exegetical relevance of Bible illustrations by non-professional illustrators who are handicapped by an intellectual disability or by behavioral problems. Special attention is given to the sociological and hermeneutical phenomenon of persons living in a secular environment with only scarce contact to a Christian church. Some of these handicapped persons show strong reactions when they hear a Bible story. Their unconventional illustrations are precious contributions noteworthy for nonspecialists and specialists. This article will present and discuss illustrations made by a Swiss adult and a child relating to two stories of the Old Testament: Jacob's dream about the ladder to heaven (Genesis 28) and Israel's wandering in the wilderness (Exodus).","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"4 29","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120855038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, this article aims to supplement and expand on Creamer's “model of limits” by arguing for a stronger attentiveness to the radically disruptive potential of our embodied limits. It also claims that such an attentiveness helps us to recognize two points at which Creamer overextends herself: (1) the claim that we are able to determine for ourselves what our individual limits are, and (2) the claim that we able to draw on our limits to creatively construct an image of God as similarly limited.","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116782093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Review of “A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability: Human Being as Mutuality and Response”","authors":"Amy E. Dows","doi":"10.1080/15228967.2013.842077","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15228967.2013.842077","url":null,"abstract":"In A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability, Molly C. Haslam seeks to develop an understanding of human being that includes individuals with profound disabilities in an attempt to weaken what she sees as a bias toward rationality and promote the well being of individuals with profound disabilities. Haslam critiques the theological anthropologies of Gordon Kaufman (1995) and George Lindbeck (1984) and their privileging of rationality, since both claim the ability to use symbolism as essential to human being, thus precluding those with profound disabilities from full humanity. Haslam also evaluates the concept of human being as the imago Dei looking at both Thomas Aquinas’ understanding of human reason as the image of God and John Calvin’s understanding of our obedience to God as mirroring the image of God. Haslam finds in both a persistent emphasis on rationality that devalues individuals with profound disabilities and claims that our concept of human being should not be based on such an intrinsic capacity. Instead, Haslam begins with Martin Buber’s (1958) realm of the “in between” and argues that we should base our concept of human being in relationality. According to Haslam, the shift from capacity to relationality provides a concept of human being that is no longer discriminatory of individuals with profound intellectual disabilities. Haslam sees her method as both revisionist—in her correlation of the experience of individuals with profound disability in society with the traditional Christian understanding of human being—and as liberationist—in that she sides with individuals with profound intellectual disabilities and recognizes their marginalization. Haslam acknowledges that, because individuals with profound intellectual disabilities are unable to participate in dialog or maintain the speaking center, she has had to rely on nonsymbolic communication through observation in constructing her model. As the basis of her observations, Haslam presents the nonsymbolic communication of Chan, an individual she has constructed based on years of experience as a physical therapist working with individuals with profound disabilities Although she is aware of the danger of projecting her own idea onto the nonsymbolic communication of an individual with profound disabilities,","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122544714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clifton","doi":"10.1080/15228967.2013.840961","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15228967.2013.840961","url":null,"abstract":"This article has its motivation in the experience of its author who, following a serious accident, was rendered a quadriplegic. It explores the potential contribution of the virtue tradition to the happiness of people with a spinal-cord injury. Drawing on the philosophical insights of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Alistair MacIntyre, it connects the virtue tradition to the more recent psychological science of positive psychology, and shows how the emerging conception of happiness can speak to the challenge of living with an acquired disability. It identifies the impact of spinal cord injury on a person's capacity to experience bodily pleasure, but goes on to argue that the pursuit of meaning and the exercise of virtue enables a more substantive happiness—better understood as well-being. It concludes by identifying some of the virtues needed to negotiate dependence on carers while, at the same time, achieving as much independence as possible.","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"10 40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131352879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus her purpose of “building connections between special education and the Bible” (p. xiii) can help one see in some fresh ways the presence of disability in the Biblical narrative, but I wish there had also been more of a disability studies perspective as well. The conclusions should not be a simplistic “God chooses people with special needs to be the leaders” but a deeper discussion of the possible ways that each person’s coping with their own vulnerabilities or limitations, either by birth or acquired, helped shape the character, spirit, and qualities of faithfulness that led others to revere them as the chosen servants of God. Again, Dr. Prouser is clear that her purpose is more within the realm of pedagogy and education, so I respect her for recognizing and affirming her own limits and boundaries as well. All that said, I reiterate that it is well written, easy to read book that will enlighten and spark your imagination. It is like getting to know parts of people you did not know before. My guess is that any preacher who uses the Hebrew Bible will enjoy using this short volume as well as the educators to whom it is focused.","PeriodicalId":218195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion, Disability & Health","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124047910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
