| Résumé: | In search of an alternative theology of disability that incorporates but is not limited to the biomedical and socio-constructivist models, Nancy Eiesland's proposal of Jesus Christ as “the disabled God” is an attempt to redefine disability in anthropological, ecclesiological, and theological terms. It may be less helpful, however, in addressing the eschatological hope that motivates many persons with disability. I propose a pneumatological model of the Spirit as the “community-enabling God” that is able to appropriate insights from previous approaches, even as it seeks to complement Eiesland's proposal and further develop a trinitarian and eschatological theology of disability. |
