Disability in Greek Patristic Tradition

This book explores the profound ways in which key thinkers from the Greek Christian East engaged with the realities of human frailty, impairment, and divine purpose.

Edited by Petre Maican, the collection features essays on figures such as Irenaeus of Lyon, Origen, the Cappadocians, John Chrysostom, Maximus the Confessor, and John Damascene. Each contribution brings these voices to life for a modern audience, offering fresh perspectives that illuminate their relevance to contemporary conversations within disability theology. This volume bridges the ancient and the modern, fostering dialogue and creativity.

Petre Maican is associate researcher at The Institute for Eastern Christian Studies of Radboud University (The Netherlands).
