Description
The Paradox of Disability: Responses to Jean Vanier and L'Arche Communities from Theology and the Sciences

The village of Trosly-Breuil in northern France is home to one of the worldâ€™s thirty-four Lâ€™Arche communities, where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together. In 2007 the impressive group of social scientists and theologians who contribute to this book gathered there to respond to a question posed by the worldwide communityâ€™s cofounder, Jean Vanier: â€œWhat have people with disabilities taught me?â€

Editor Hans Reinders emphasizes that the purpose of these analyses and reflections is not to set those with disabilities apart. He explains that it is not their being disabled that makes them special, but rather that sharing their experience enables us to see things that we otherwise readily ignore â€” and to understand the fullness of what it means to be human.
