Köp båda 2 för 935 krThis wonderfully thought-provoking book by John Swinton takes its cue from such profoundly disabled people to argue that many of the challenges they face would be overcome if time were on their side. --Penny Seabrook "Church Times" There is much to appreciate and enjoy in reading this rich book, particularly in the way the author goes back and forth between stories of disability experience, biblical narrative, and theological reflection. --Hans Reinders "Studies in Christian Ethics" Theologically rich and pastorally astute. --Aaron Klink "Religious Studies Review" Swinton's book encourages all of us to be attentive, subversive, and faithful in our engagement with time. --Debbie Creamer "Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology" Swinton invites the reader into dialogue with the openness of a pastor, the sensitivity of a nurse, and the diligence of one who has personally witnessed the crises of disability. His writing style reflects his theological approach--practical and accessible. --Nathan Garcia "KronoScope" Creative, thoughtful, and convicting. --Bruce M. Hartung "Concordia Journal" [Swinton's] theological and experiential reflections offer real ways to reimagine discipleship alongside those within life's range of varying differing abilities. Swinton acts as an important and necessary conversation partner for academics and pastors who rely heavily on 'normal' cognitive and neurological development, freeing those with rigid conceptions of practical theology to active, contextual care. --Adam Tobey "Reading Religion"
