Images of God Through the Lens of Disability
Abstract
This paper promotes a “liberatory theology of disability” founded upon biblical images of God and upon the perspective and experiences of persons with disabilities. It calls for new images of wholeness and healing in order to comprehend a truer imaging of God. The author posits that we must view disability and disease through different conceptual lenses than we have used heretofore in order to behold the image of God in each child of God. She asserts that disability in no way detracts from our essential being; indeed, it may well enhance our image of God and of ourselves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
