John Wesley attempts to inhabit a liberating space that understands bodily limitation not as the result of an individual's sins but as a fact of finitude. Concurrently, Wesley ultimately constructs the able-body as the norm. This construction leads Wesley on a problematic search of theology for the cause of bodily limitation, for which Wesley defaults to the Fall as the explanation. Thus, while bodily limitation is not a result of the individual's sins, bodily limitation is the result of the first sin, and—vis-à-vis Foucault—people with bodily limitation are embodied signifiers of the fallen state of humanity.
