Julia Watts Belser’s Loving Our Own Bones is a vital contribution to disability theology, biblical hermeneutics, and more. This response explores Watts Belser’s critiques of beauty and of the desire to “rescue” texts, pairing them with the book’s reflections on disappointment. It also questions the role of love and eros, directing attention to the Song of Songs as a possible resource for the larger project imagined by the book
