This is Brock's first popular book on disability (Disability: Living into the Diversity of Christ's Body), written with the express aim of disseminating the world-leading disability theology ongoing in the department of Divinity at the University of Aberdeen. It addresses everyday church members, dispelling common misconceptions about disability and inclusion. By telling the stories of the experiences of various sorts of disabled people in churches, it makes it clear why the issue of disability is crucial if the church is to maintain its moral credibility in modern society. By offering practical tips about how to become a more welcoming church, it also promises to generate significant practical impact. Having pre-sold 600 copies before publication and already being on undergraduate syllabi in the UK, Australia and North America, the book is set to consolidate the University of Aberdeen as the premier department in the world for studying the theology of disability.
