ABSTRACT
This chapter considers some of the ways in which disability has been figured within theology, focusing particularly on questions about the eschatological body, and how notions of the resurrection body in Augustine might help to build a non-pathological picture of intersexed and otherwise 'imperfect' bodies. Deborah Creamer's use of what she terms the 'Limitness' model in her theology of disability emphasizes the fact that no one individual or group can encompass the entire range of human experience. The chapter argues that, just as disability need not necessarily be deemed pathological, either socially or theologically in spite of the real inherent differences in ability arising from some impairment likewise, intersex/DSD also need not necessarily be deemed pathological. Erotic domination limits the dissemination of some types of knowledge; this has been very evident in medical attitudes toward intersex/DSD and the level of information patients and families should be given.
