There are also pictures throughout of the Bible stories made by people with IDD. This one is of the parable of the lost coin

This is a great resource from Sociedad Biblia. They are making simple language Bibles that are accessible to people with intellectual disability. They limit the vocab and simplify sentences. They have translated parables, and are now translating the gospel of Luke, Acts, and OT stories.

About half way through Ted Smith’s “The End of Theological Education” and so far it’s really good. It’s illuminating not only for the current crisis of theology in higher ed but the decline of denominationalism and voluntary associations. It is incisive without the despair of such much commentary

I’m excited to push this project over the line in 2025, but dreading the endless slog of reviewing page proofs.
