REVELATION OF GRACE: A THEOLOGY OF DISABILITY IN LUKE-ACTS Throughout history, people with disabilities have often struggled to recognize God's presence within their affliction. Luke provides unique guidance in the development of a theology of disability through an understanding of the divine work in both of his volumes. This study begins with a look at the contemporary state of biblically based disability studies. It then investigates the realities of disability in first-century Palestine through an exegetical survey of mental and physical variances, divine intervention, and their outcomes in Luke-Acts. This study demonstrates that God works within each unique individual to display His character. The common result of an encounter with Christ or his apostles in the New Testament text is a supernatural healing; this thesis reveals that through disability, heightened grace is realized in the life of the recipient and often extends to those around them. In the concluding chapter, we briefly examine the implications for the disabled and Church alike, as they interface.
