Major Review: Wondrously Wounded: Theology, Disability and the Body of Christ by Brian R. Brock

Abstract

Brian Brock’s powerful Book invites readers into an intense, detailed conversation between the Bible, theology, early church history, ethics, health, modern medical practices, the contemporary church, and people with disabilities and their families, exploring questions of how we understand, treat, and love people with disabilities, particularly those with intellectual and developmental challenges. Brock’s academic and pastoral credentials represent all the disciplines above except the last, which is embodied, represented, and symbolized in his life as a father to his son Adam, a young man with Down syndrome and autism.
