Bible translation and Disability Studies
Bible translation and Disability Studies, how is that related? At first glance, "disability" in the Bible seems to be within the framework of a discourse that reflects exclusively on the lives of the non-disabled. The living worlds of people with and without disabilities emerge in the biblical text by the authors as interface out of the perspective of the non-disabled. We will not find a life picture of a "handicapped person", which would allow to make any decision on the question of the physical or mental restriction with respect to the divine reality.
Missiology and Theology – Best Friends?
Intercultural theology is therefore in a position to form an interdisciplinary interface between the auxiliary disciplines of linguistics, anthropology, sociology, psychology and pedagogy in order to do justice to the task of transcultural, transnational and interreligious exchange. In anglophone space, missiology (missiology) is so operated.
