Does what we are capable of doing define us as human beings? If this basic anthropological assumption is true, where can that leave those with intellectual disabilities, unable to accomplish the things that we propose give us our very humanity? Hans Reinders here makes an unusual claim about unusual people: those who are profoundly disabled are people just like the rest of us. He acknowledges that, at first glance, this is not an unusual claim given the steps taken within the last few decades to bring the rights of those with disabilities into line with the rights of the mainstream. But, he argues, that cannot be the end of the matter, because the disabled are human beings before they are citizens. "To live a human life properly," he says, "they must not only be included in our institutions and have access to our public spaces; they must also be included in other people's lives, not just by natural necessity but by choice." Receiving the Gift of Friendship consists of three parts: (1) Profound Disability, (2) Theology, and (3) Ethics. Overturning the "commonsense" view of human beings, Reinders's argument for a paradigm shift in our relation to people with disabilities is founded on a groundbreaking philosophical-theological consideration of humanity and of our basic human commonality. Moreover, Reinders gives his study human vividness and warmth with stories of the profoundly disabled from his own life and from the work of Jean Vanier and Henri Nouwen in L'Arche communities.

If so, what does that mean for those with intellectual disabilities who may not meet conventional benchmarks of achievement? Hans Reinders asserts that profoundly disabled individuals are just as human as anyone else. While the recent push for disability rights aligns them more closely with mainstream society, Reinders emphasizes that their humanity precedes their status as citizens. He argues that to truly live a human life, individuals with disabilities must be included not only in institutions and public spaces but also in the lives of others, chosen rather than merely necessitated. The work is structured around three key themes: Profound Disability, Theology, and Ethics. Reinders challenges the prevailing notions of humanity, advocating for a paradigm shift in how we relate to those with disabilities through a philosophical-theological lens. His exploration is enriched by personal stories and insights from the experiences of profoundly disabled individuals, as well as the teachings of Jean Vanier and Henri Nouwen within L'Arche communities, bringing warmth and vividness to his argument.
