We just got word of this upcoming book from Baylor Press, written by a scholar who is also the sibling of a man with Down syndrome.

It’s called “Theology and Down Syndrome: Reimagining Disability in Late Modernity.”

From the publisher’s blurbs:

“Yong has done nothing less than provide the most comprehensive analysis we have of the philosophical issues surrounding Down syndrome. But more importantly, drawing on an account of the Holy Spirit, he helps us better appreciate how focusing on disability makes us re-think fundamental theological categories…. ”
— Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics at Duke Divinity School

This work is also noteworthy for its focus on Down Syndrome and how people with Down Syndrome in their own words understand themselves and their experiences in a world that is all-too-often unwelcoming.”
–Mary Jo Iozzio, Professor of Moral Theology, Barry University
