Disability in the Hebrew Bible: Interpreting Mental and Physical Differences
Olyan, Saul M. (Brown University, Rhode Island)
Olyan seeks to reconstruct the Hebrew Bible's ideas of mental and physical disability and their social ramifications. This study shows how biblical writers constructed hierarchically significant difference and privileged the 'able-bodied' over those with disabilities. It also explores the models of classification that biblical writers produced.
