Download or read book Deaf Liberation Theology written by Hannah Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following years of theology of deafness based on the premise that Deaf people are simply people who cannot hear, this book breaks new ground. Presenting a new approach to Deaf people, theology and the Church, this book enables Deaf people who see themselves as members of a minority group to formulate their own theology rooted in their own history and culture. Deconstructing the theology and practice of the Church, Hannah Lewis shows how the Church unconsciously oppresses Deaf people through its view of them as people who cannot hear. Lewis reclaims Deaf perspectives on Church history, examines how an essentially visual Deaf culture can relate to the written text of the Bible and asks 'Can Jesus sign?' This book pulls together all these strands to consider how worship can be truly liberating, truly a place for Deaf people to celebrate who they are before God.
Download or read book Be Opened The Catholic Church and Deaf Culture written by Lana Portolano and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Opened! The Catholic Church and Deaf Culture offers readers a people’s history of deafness and sign language in the Catholic Church. Paying ample attention to the vocation stories of deaf priests and pastoral workers, Portolano traces the transformation of the Deaf Catholic community from passive recipients of mercy to an active language minority making contributions in today’s globally diverse church. Background chapters familiarize readers with early misunderstandings about deaf people in the church and in broader society, along with social and religious issues facing deaf people throughout history. A series of connected narratives demonstrate the strong Catholic foundations of deaf education in sign language, including sixteenth-century monastic schools for deaf children and nineteenth-century French education in sign language as a missionary endeavor. The author explains how nineteenth-century schools for deaf children, especially those founded by orders of religious sisters, established small communities of Deaf Catholics around the globe. A series of portraits illustrates the work of pioneering missionaries in several different countries—“apostles to the Deaf”—who helped to establish and develop deaf culture in these communities through adult religious education and the sacraments in sign language. In several chapters focused on the twentieth century, the author describes key events that sparked a modern transformation in Deaf Catholic culture. As linguists began to recognize sign languages as true human languages, deaf people borrowed the practices of Civil Rights activists to gain equality both as citizens and as members of the church. At the same time, deaf people drew inspiration and cultural validation from key documents of Vatican II, and leadership of the Deaf Catholic community began to come from the deaf community rather than to it through missionaries. Many challenges remain, but this book clearly presents Deaf Catholic culture as an important and highly visible embodiment of Catholic heritage.
Download or read book Theology Without Words written by Wayne Morris and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of a Christian theology without words, focussing on theology in the Deaf Community. Deaf people's first and preferred method of communication is not English or any other spoken language, but British Sign Language - a language that cannot be written down. Deaf people of faith attend church on a regular basis, profess faith in God and have developed unique approaches to doing theology. While most Western theology is word-centred and is either expressed through or dependent on written texts, theology in the Deaf Community is largely non-written. This book presents and examines some of that theology from the Deaf Community and argues that written texts are not necessary for creative theological debate, a deep spirituality or for ideas about God to develop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the seventeenth century to the early years of the twentieth, the population of Martha’s Vineyard manifested an extremely high rate of profound hereditary deafness. In stark contrast to the experience of most deaf people in our own society, the Vineyarders who were born deaf were so thoroughly integrated into the daily life of the community that they were not seen—and did not see themselves—as handicapped or as a group apart. Deaf people were included in all aspects of life, such as town politics, jobs, church affairs, and social life. How was this possible? On the Vineyard, hearing and deaf islanders alike grew up speaking sign language. This unique sociolinguistic adaptation meant that the usual barriers to communication between the hearing and the deaf, which so isolate many deaf people today, did not exist.
Download or read book Into the Silence written by Joe Kotvas and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Into the Silence was written with the intent to motivate, challenge and educate God's servants regarding the needs and uniqueness of ministering among the Deaf. It is also intended to serve as an informative introductory text for Deaf ministry and missions for pastors and Christian servants alike. There are many books on deafness, deaf education, sign language and Deaf culture. However, there are not many that deal with the subject of Deaf missions and the great need for missionaries and ministries for the Deaf worldwide. This book is an effort to help fill that need and to provide motivation and vision to those who would give their lives to the Lord in the service of the Deaf.Statistics presented have been researched but have not been scientifically verified. They were gleaned and developed from various sources with the intent of adding context to the need for ministry among the Deaf. When referring to the use of the word deaf in this book, "deaf" is used in reference to the medical/audiological/pathological loss of hearing and "Deaf" is used as it relates to Deaf community and Deaf culture. This book is primarily based on my personal experience, observation and opinion. It is not intended to contradict, criticize or stand above another's opinions or methods of ministry. I pray you will find this book helpful and insightful; especially to those whom God has called to work with the Deaf or those who are considering a Deaf ministry in their church as part of their global missionary effort. Time is short. We must be busy about the Master's business in reaching this greatly under-reached people group.
