Discover a biblical approach to welcome individuals and families affected by disability as equal and vital members of the fellowship by reading Paul from a new perspective.
David W. Anderson, the founder and president of Crossing Bridges, Inc., a nonprofit ministry, follows up on his previous books on how the church can serve those with disabilities in this analysis of what the Bible says on the topic.
The emphasis is on practical, everyday implications of theology to life experiences and relationships. The author explores topics such as:
• actions we can take to lend credibility to our Christian witness, such as focusing on compassion, hospitality, and Christlike character.
• steps we can take to help individuals and families dealing with disability avoid feeling spiritually isolated.
Paul does not directly teach about disability, but his writing highlights how Christians should relate to others with acceptance, love, humility, patience, and equality. Thinking theologically about disability includes seeking to understand the place and purpose of disability in general, and how to minister with persons and families facing a disabling condition.
