Disability Theology: An Introduction
In this book, I provide a first-of-its-kind introduction to disability theology as a field of study. I address key issues relevant to those engaging this area for the first time, including such things as understandings of personhood and well-being, the interpretation of Scripture, doctrines of creation, salvation, and resurrection, and more.
Forthcoming with T&T Clark.
Desire and Divinization: A Theology of Everyday Asceticism
In this book, I offer a Protestant view of participation in God (i.e., theosis, deification, or divinization). Particularly, I leverage Sarah Coakley’s work on the nature of desire to describe what it is to participate in God’s life throughout our lives, in things profound and mundane. In so doing, this book aims to address what divinization is in terms of its systematic theological content and its practical implications for Christian living.
Forthcoming in the Analyzing Theology series with Cascade Books.
Disability Theology and Eschatology: Hope, Justice and Flourishing
In this co-edited book, Preston Hill and I present a series of essays on various topics at the intersection of theologies of disability and the doctrines of both the intermediate state and resurrection of the body. Particular attention is paid here to cognitive disability, especially psychiatric disability.
Contributors include myself and Preston, Eleonore Stump, Harvey Cawdron, Jessica Coblentz, Derek Estes, Erin Raffety, Emma Worrall, Samuel Youngs, and Maja Whitaker.
