Hans S. Reinders is Professor of Ethics and Bernard Lievegoed Professor of Ethics and Disability at VU University in Amsterdam.
"In this magnificent work, Hans Reinders presents divine providence
in a manner that refuses to evade the hardest questions of lived
human existence." -- Brian Brock, Reader in Moral & Practical
Theology, University of Aberdeen
"An important contribution to the necessary conversation on
Christian theology and our human experiences of impairments and
disabilities." Arne Fritzson, Ecumenical Disabilities Advocate
Network
"Disability, Providence, and Ethics is a probing and instructive
book that is sure to be an important addition to the growing
literature on theology and disability. Attentive to stories of
disability in the lives of people, Hans Reinders roots providence
in pastoral discernment as a hope-filled expression of God's
transformative nearness. And the result challenges common
perceptions of disability." -- Thomas E Reynolds, Associate
Professor of Theology, Emmanuel College
The Dutch theologian Hans Reinders, one of the most interesting
thinkers working at the intersections of theology, philosophy, and
disability studies, discusses in this well-written and engaging
book the theology of providence in relation to the experience of
disability. -- Arne Rasmusson, University of Gothenburg -- First
Things
This book impressively embodies the spirit of interdisciplinary
scholarship prevalent within the field of Christian ethics today.
In the course of the book Reinders engages literatures from
disability studies, first-hand non-fiction writings, biblical
studies and systematic theology--all without losing his own
constructive agenda...this is ultimately not just a book about
disability, but about what it means for contingent, finite
creatures to trust in the providential care of God while living in
a world in which they are not in control of their lives. -- Matthew
R. Jantzen -- Studies in Christian Ethics
Reinders' text authentically responds to the potency of risky deep
waters with deep multi-vocal care, consistently supporting his
premise that community, through Christ's Holy Spirit, transforms
new ways to see and live. -- Debra Paxton-Buursma -- Christian
Scholars Review
The practical methodology, perceptive questions, and
community-based wisdom found here will benefit all readers--with or
without disabilities--who are seeking to adapt and create meaning
in a complicated and ruptured world. -- Debbie Creamer --
Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
This well-written and accessible book poses the question what must
a theology of providence look like if it is to sustain people
existentially and spiritually in their experience of living with a
disability? -- Joanna Collicutt -- Scottish Journal of Theology
