| Sumario: | As society becomes progressively dominated by an ideology of healthy living, Matt Edmonds makes a vital critique of contemporary efforts to remove 'disability' from the world around us. Surveying the logic and language of both secular and religious health movements, Edmonds highlights the misplaced generalisations and dubious values that cumulatively serve to undermine individual inclusion and wellbeing on a day-today basis. From the resources of Christian theology, A theological diagnosis finds a paradigm with which to examine the infections of genetic theory, faith healing and meaning of 'disability' so as to prescribe a way forward for both believer and non-believer alike. |
