Abstract

Abstract Challenging the importance of “correct” knowledge in the light of Christian faith is the focus of this essay. More specifically, the author examines the possible gifts and demonstrations of faith in persons who have mental disabilities and questions not only what it means to be a human being, but to be created in the image of God. Instead of continually focusing on what we can teach individuals who have disabilities, we can ask, {“What} do they have to teach us about God?” The claim is that we should never overlook or find inadequate the faith of persons different from ourselves because persons who have disabilities may evangelize and contribute gifts to the Church if we are not constantly “correcting” them.
