This book is beautifully written, and since I'm Jewish it hit very close to home. The profound impact of Judeo-Christian philosophy on how we view disability is difficult to overstate, and Watts Belser methodically reviews the voluminous writings on this topic to illustrate how complex and varied interpretations can be of religious writings. Through it all, she demonstrates how central disability is to the human condition, even in these religious texts, how often it is swept away, and how important it is to re-examine our view of disability.

I think this book will still be good even if you're not Jewish, but if you are you're definitely going to get more from it. Highly recommend
