Molly C. Haslam

About the Author

Molly C. Haslam is a theologian and author whose work bridges the intersections of faith, disability, and human relationality. With a background in pastoral ministry and theological education, she explores how Christian doctrine can foster inclusive understandings of personhood, particularly for those with intellectual disabilities. In her seminal book, A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability: Human Being as Mutuality and Response, Haslam challenges traditional theological frameworks by emphasizing mutuality and responsive encounter as core to human identity. Drawing from her experiences in chaplaincy and advocacy, she advocates for a theology that honors vulnerability and interdependence, influencing discussions in practical theology and disability studies. Her writing invites readers to reimagine community through the lens of divine love and ethical responsibility.
