Back to Writings Home On Blindness and Disability
As an introduction to John Hull's writings on blindness and disability, you can read his 1990 book Touching the Rock, an Experience of Blindness. Published in several English editions and several foreign languages, it is now out of print. It may be found in second-hand book shops, or could probably be borrowed from a public library. But everything in Touching the Rock is included in a new and enlarged edition with the title On Sight and Insight, a Journey into the World of Blindness. Additional material makes it about one third as large again as the original. You can buy either version through Amazon.
Hull's most recent book on this subject is In the Beginning there was Darkness, a Blind Person's Conversations with the Bible. This is published in the UK and in the USA - for details click on the title.
From this page, you can read several articles and book chapters about blindness and a theology of disability: Those added most recently are shown in bold.
