Abstract | Abstract This article has a focus on finding models in Old and New Testament scriptures for those who have disabilities and are experiencing suffering. Habakkuk, David, the apostle Paul, and Jesus are presented as models whose faith perspective carried them through suffering. Possibilities for application in today's world are presented, with one of the authors presenting his personal story. Individuals as well as those who work in a pastoralsetting with people with disabilities may find this document to be a resource of hope. |
