"Beauty and Brokenness" explores the way we think about the relationship between creation and humanity, their respective brokenness and beauty and, in this connection, compassion (both as God's righteous indignation and meaning 'to suffer with'), faith and power. The author's thinking in this area began when his son was born with Downs Syndrome thirteen years ago, and has continued developing in the last twelve months as his wife has been left physically disabled from the effects of a brain tumour. He uses as a starting point, Mantegna's painting "Presentation at the Temple", which is, in many respects, a traditional Madonna and Child composition except that the infant Jesus is depicted as a child with Downs.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is a moving reflection on the author's experience of disability, in his immediate family and in wider society. As well as speaking with personal authenticity, Williams offers significant and helpful theological insights. Does God accept disability in the incarnation? Is what we see as disability a diversity that will be included without disadvantage in the Kingdom? There is also helpful comment on what actual practice can mark a church that is a first fruit of that Kingdom. Important reading, and not just for those who live with disability.
