Ahnungslose, aber hoffentlich inspirierende Fragen von der Seite
Abstract This commentary responds to the preceding texts and examines how contemporary theology deals with disability studies. It notes the emergence of a distinct »disability theology« characterized by careful hermeneutics and a focus on disability as a central analytical category. Although this field is generally not politicized, it shows a strong commitment to inclusive theological and pedagogical practice. The text identifies gaps – such as limited dialogue with other critical theologies – and suggests future research on normative bodies, ableism, paternalism, human rights, and theological concepts of care. Overall, theology is presented as a constructive and self-critical partner for disability studies.
