...A valuable teaching and research resource for years to come. --Susannah Cornwall "Reading Religion" A stimulating collection of diverse essays, which are suggestive and engaging for anyone who is fairly new to this field. --Jane Heath "Journal for the Study of the New Testament" An exceedingly valuable collection. --Tim Vermande "H-NET Reviews" The combined enthusiasm and insights of its contributors provide an encouraging starting point for additional scholarship of this kind, especially as future interpreters explore other subject positions and methodologies relevant to disability perspectives. I strongly recommend this text as both required reading in religious studies courses and a personal resource for research and homiletics. --David N. Scott "Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology" The Bible and Disability: A Commentary will be an invaluable resource for biblical scholars, who cannot afford to remain ignorant of disability in the Bible, as well as for disability scholars who seek insight about disability in the ancient world, and for students and lay readers of the Bible. --Kirsty Jones "Catholic Biblical Quarterly" This groundbreaking volume brings the perspectives of disability studies to the interpretation of the Bible. Conceived and written by a team of scholars, the essays in this work scan the entirety of the Bible, zeroing in on key passages and motifs with special relevance for the topic. --John R. Barker "The Bible Today" Thus, The Bible and Disability is not only a useful handbook for biblical scholars, but for any disability scholar interested in the history of disability and the continued impact of the Bible on notions of disability. --Anna Rebecca Solevag "Journal of Disability & Religion"
