0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

The Work of Inclusion employs ethnographic research to centre the perspectives of people with intellectual disabilities within theological discussions on disability, inclusion, grace, and sin. It explores human agency as both shaped and constrained by relationships of interdependency. This study reveals the complex layers of agency present in such relationships and argues for a Christian ethics that more fully recognises hope, grace, and resistance to systems of sin and injustice.

Description

Using ethnographic research, The Work of Inclusion brings the standpoints of people with intellectual disabilities to the forefront of the theological conversation around disability, inclusion, grace, and sin.

In a world shaped by interdependency, developing a theological attunement to intellectual disability helps us to understand that human agency is both enabled by and limited by dependency relationships. Only by recognising the complex layers of agency seen in this ethnographic study can Christian ethics more broadly address the place of hope, grace, and resistance against structures of sin and injustice.

Mary Jo Iozzio praises the book for its innovative ethnographic approach that engages directly with people with intellectual disabilities, revealing embodied communication and shared humanity. The work challenges traditional theological methods and contributes significantly to the emerging field of theological ethnography by exploring what God is active in doing within communities today.
