Kate Bowen-Evans extends a disability hermeneutic on behalf of others marginalized by the church. Kevin Timpe wants less Christian optimism. Elizabeth Agnew Cochran and Joanna Leidenhag ask how autistic people might be tripped up by issues of race and a church that is deaf to their voices. Stephen Wright’s aesthetics leads to a clarification of wonder language. A conclusion asks about anger and hope in the face of injustice and divine mercy.
