Disability and the Problem of Evil
The book wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, and it might not be what you are expecting either. Knowing that the author has lived with spinal muscular atrophy his entire life, you might expect that he writes about his personal experience. He doesn’t, or at least not much.
Instead, he introduces the reader to both the philosophical and theological problem of evil, as well as an overview of issues of related concerns in the disabled community. He defines disability itself and explains some perspectives that might surprise people who are not within the disability community. He explores the Biblical perspective on disability as well as how the church has traditionally handled it.
