Laying the Foundation: A Theology of Disability
You are a theologian, and you have a theology of disability.
Let’s make sure that theology has a firm foundation that will hold up when we are ministering to people with disabilities and their families. In this chapter, we look at God’s plan, God’s purpose, God’s provision, and God’s promise in disability.

The Bible isn’t a disability ministry handbook, but it’s a head and heart book—it teaches us how to think about disabilities and how to treat those with disabilities (including how to view ourselves if we are ever diagnosed with a disability).
