Matthew, Disability, and Stress: Examining Impaired Characters in the Context of Empire - Hardcover

by Jillian D. Engelhardt (Author)

This book examines four Matthean healing narratives, focusing on the impaired characters in the scenes. Informed by both empire studies and social stress theory, Jillian D. Engelhardt argues that more nuanced characterizations of the impaired characters and their social and somatic circumstances results in ambiguous interpretations.
