“…Jesus walks. He does not hurriedly run like the crowds in Mark 9:25, or the comedic Zaccheaeus in Luke 19:1-10 (see Solevag 2020), or the slavish Rhoda in Acts 12:13-16 (see Harrill 2000), nor does he frantically wander like the unclean spirits in the synoptics (Mat 12:43//Lk 11:24) — he walks — along roads, besides (and at least according to tradition, on water, through cornfields, hills, wildernesses and rural villages, and it is while out walking he met others, ministered to them, and called his followers (Rodriguez 2012: 48). Little direct information in the synoptics is given on the performances of Jesus and/or his disciples (gait; pace etc.…”

Early Christianity relied heavily on walking, yet New Testament Studies has largely neglected the cultural significance of walking in the ancient world and its connection to Early Christian communication. Walking, often seen as a conscious cultural act, is often overlooked in scholarly discourse, with the focus primarily on its symbolic aspects. Drawing from interdisciplinary research in classics, cultural studies, and social science, this study aims to explore how early Christian bodily movement and communication have been perceived and culturally appropriated in European and North American scholarship. It presents three case studies: the portrayal of disabled bodies’ movements in healings, the interpretation of Jesus and his disciples as itinerant wanderers, and the examination of walking in Pauline literature as a means of profiling missionary success.

“…Vi skal heller ikke glemme at ikke alle med annerledes kropper helbredes. Fortellingene om kortvokste Sakkeus (Luk 19, 1-10) og den etiopiske evnukken (Apg 8, 24-40) er eksempler på fortellinger om personer med kroppslige stigmaer som blir inkludert i trosfellesskapet slik som de er (Solevåg, 2013(Solevåg, , 2020. Et annet eksempel på «ikke-helbredelse» er måten Jesu kropp beskrives på etter at han er stått opp fra de døde.…”

Thresholdless churches can improve accessibility, but how can churches express that variations in abilities are fundamental to human life? In this article, theological aesthetics and disability aesthetics are used to explore this question through an investigation of a church designed especially for deaf and deafblind persons, Tomaskirken in Andebu, Norway. Based on the observation that the interior of the church lacks references to disability art and disability aesthetics, it is argued that this is problematic. Altough the lack of disability aesthetics and disability art can be understood as a sign of inclusion, Tomaskirken remain a missed opportunity to explore how the theological acknowledgement of human diversity can be expressed through aesthetic expressions in churches.
