This week Anna Rebecca Solevag joins the pod offering reflections on disability and the Bible. She joins us from Norway where she teaches as a Professor of New Testament Studies at VID Specialized University in Oslo.

Also mentioned in the conversation is her article titled “No Nuts, No Problem," where Anna uses crip theory and disability studies to interpret the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26–40 as a disabled figure whose marked body and inability to procreate challenge cultural norms, revealing a destabilizing, non-normative vision of Christ through the eunuch’s reading of Isaiah 53.
