520 _a"This edited collection critically examines how diverse religions of the world represent and respond to disability and/or chronic illness. Contributors incorporate literature and theoretical analysis from the field of disability studies resulting in a comparative text reflecting multicultural, interdisciplinary and inter-religious attitudes and perspectives. The book is appealing to a broad readership including members of the disabled community, scholars and students from the disciplines of religious studies, disability studies and cultural studies, social service and healthcare professionals, and religious practitioners from distinctive traditions.
