Reflections On The Jewish and Christian Attitude Towards the Disabled People

Journal Title: Mütefekkir - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

Disability, being one of the most important problems of humanity since the very ancient times, is a fact that has existed everywhere and in all times. That this fact has been associated with religion is quite natural. This is because the subject-matter of religion is the human and every subject that matters the human also matters religion. It must be very difficult to sever the range of disability, as it appears to be part of at least some people, from religion. This study is intended to investigate, in the context of this relationship, how Judaism and Christianity –which possess an important status among the revealed religions and have a great number of followers– look at the handicapped people with a special reference to their scriptures.
