Nancy Eiesland

Nancy Eiesland

Nancy Eiesland (April 6, 1964 – March 10, 2009) was a professor at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University.[1][2]

Eiesland, born with a congenital bone defect, underwent numerous operations in her youth and experienced considerable pain as well as disability. These factors informed her theological perspective that God is disabled, culminating in her publication in 1994 of The Disabled God: Toward a Liberatory Theology of Disability.

Eiesland died of lung cancer at age 44.
