- Title
Jesus' Healing Ministry in New Perspective: Towards a Cultural Model of Disability in Anabaptist- Mennonite Hermeneutics.
- Authors
Howard, Melanie A.
- Abstract
Anabaptist-Mennonite hermeneutics can be characterized by a community-driven practice, a Christocentric focus, and a lived obedience to the biblical text. When applied to the interpretation of Jesus' healing activity in the Gospels, these characteristics could lead to problematic conclusions from a critical disability perspective. However, these Anabaptist-Mennonite hermeneutical characteristics can be fully realized and can contribute to the full flourishing of people with disabilities when they are paired with a cultural model of disability. This article suggests that such a pairing is beneficial, especially in the practice of interpreting Jesus' healing ministry.
