Asks the question: What did, and do, Quakers think about good and evil? This book looks at historical and contemporary Quakerdom's approach to the ethical and theological problem of evil and good. It uncovers the complex development of metaethical thought by a religious group that has evolved with an unusual degree of diversity.

This book reconceives disability as a set of social relations and practices, as experienced embodiment, and as an emancipatory movement, as well as a biomedical phenomenon. The author brings new attention to complex ethical questions surrounding disability, looking at not only the biomedical understanding of impairment, but also its cultural representations and social organization.
