520 |a Attitudes about disability have such deep cultural roots we almost forget their sources... but open the Bible and disability is everywhere. Moses stutters; Isaac is blind; Jesus heals the sick, the paralyzed, and the possessed. Yet religious leaders and cultural commentators treat disability as a metaphor for spiritual incapacity, or a challenge to be overcome. Belser-- herself a queer disabled Jewish feminist-- uses fresh readings of familiar biblical stories to demonstrate how disability wisdom can guide us all toward a powerful reckoning with the complexities of the flesh. -- adapted from jacket
