ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on theological education. In particular, the author's will be looking at the theological curriculum and asking, first, how ableist perspectives have traditionally structured theological teaching and learning, and second, how disability perspectives can chart new approaches to theological studies as a whole. The chapter explores how this shift is emerging at the conceptual and theoretical levels hermeneutically in the field of biblical studies, historiographically in the field of Christian history, methodologically in Christian theology, and practically in ministry and practical theology courses. The discipline of Christian history is undergoing similar convulsions to that in biblical studies. A theological education is distinct from a secular religious studies approach, particularly in asking normative religious and theological questions and then being concerned about the application of such notions.
