Disability's Challenge to Theology is a bedrock book for bioethics and disability theology and sets the table for us to have conversations in nuanced, faithful ways that will bear fruit."" —Bethany McKinney Fox, author of Disability and the Way of Jesus “Stahl argues that churches must include the voices of disabled individuals in Christian ethical discernment. This important, theologically rich book will be of interest to scholars of theological bioethics, especially those working in the Protestant tradition. Interested lay readers, too, may find the text helpful.” —Choice “Given the relative dearth of books in theological bioethics, Disability's Challenge to Theology: Genes, Eugenics, and the Metaphysics of Modern Medicine is a welcome contribution to the field. In addition to being of interest to Christian ethicists, Stahl's book will be of interest to those considering the implications of the capability approach for bioethics and disability studies.” —Hastings Center Report" Drawing on a rich tapestry of Catholic and Protestant sources, Devan Stahl demonstrates the need for metaphysics if Christian bioethics is to successfully confront the eugenic temptations of genetic technologies. --Paul Scherz, co-editor of The Evening of Life Drawing on a rich tapestry of Catholic and Protestant sources, Devan Stahl demonstrates the need for metaphysics if Christian bioethics is to successfully confront the eugenic temptations of genetic technologies. -Paul Scherz, co-editor of The Evening of Life In this beautifully deep work, Devan Stahl highlights the wisdom of disabled people, too often left out of theological considerations around the utilization of medical advancements.
