The social model represents the primary lens through which disability theologians explore disability. Yet this model is inextricably linked to Critical Theory and often employs Foucauldian analysis to identify potential issues for people with disabilities. Many prominent voices in disability theology use this framework in their writings, to include Amos Yong, Brian Brock, and Nancy Eisland. Critical Theory and the social model of disability offer some areas for practical improvement for people with disabilities in calling society to a more compassionate posture. However, Critical Theory and Foucauldian analysis brings with it many negative impacts on disability theology. These include a rejection of healing at the eschaton, overly imaginative reading of the healing narratives in Scripture, and a priority on social suffering to the detriment of physical suffering. Additionally, practical concerns include a dismissal of objective diagnosis, transableism, and an identity seated in a condition rather than Christ. This paper evaluates the impacts of Critical Theory on disability theology and suggests a better path forward by embracing God’s lordship over disability.
