Evangelism Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Church’s Witness In Disability and Evangelism , Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. In Disability and Evangelism , you will: • gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism; • hear stories from people with a range of disabilities; • study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities; • understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and • engage with discussion questions in each chapter.
“Rochelle Scheuermann offers a much-needed resource to help the church move past its ignorance about image bearers with disabilities in our communities and churches. A missiologist and parent to a child with special needs, Scheuermann invites the reader into her lived theology toward meaningful and fruitful ministry.” Edward L. Smither, dean of the School of Missions & Intercultural Ministry at Columbia International University
Rochelle Scheuermann (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is assistant dean of ministry and evangelism and associate professor of evangelism at Wheaton College, where she also directs the doctor of ministry program.
