Biblical Perspectives on Disability

(Edited by Evan Clulee & Dr Murray Rae)
Background
In New Zealand, people with disabilities make up 20% of the population (New Zealand Census, 2001). The challenge for the church is that this group of people is generally not represented within its population. An overview of the Old and New Testaments demonstrates that this lack of inclusion of people with disabilities is not in line with the teachings and practices of Jesus.
