Zusammenfassung:This paper focuses on the evidence provided by certain texts about the lives of people with disabilities in ancient Greek and Jewish societies, and the extent to which religious beliefs impacted on their experience in daily life. It aims to provide an historical background against which to consider some aspects of the NT accounts of the healing miracles, and then proceeds to investigate some of the ways in which the relevant NT texts have been received in different contexts in society today.
