Benjamin S. Wall

Benjamin Wall, Ph.D. is a theologian and ethicist whose work lives at the intersection of Christian faith, care, and embodied human life. He currently serves as Assistant Professor at Colorado Technical University and teaches and supervises doctoral research in the Doctor of Ministry program at South University, where he works closely with practitioners navigating the lived challenges of ministry.

Trained in Practical Theology and Theological Ethics, his scholarship brings theology into conversation with medicine, disability, mental health, and the everyday practices of the church. Drawing on years of experience as a mental health professional and pastoral counselor, his writing is shaped by a sustained concern for humane forms of care, hospitality, embodiment, and moral formation, especially among those living at the margins of church and society.

He is the author of "Welcome as a Way of Life: A Practical Theology of Jean Vanier" and has contributed chapters to "The Betrayal of Witness: Sexual Abuse, Institutional Blindness, and the Crisis of the Church" (Cascade, 2024) and "Theology, Disability and Sport: Social Justice Perspectives" (Routledge, 2018). His current projects include "Leisure, Limitation, and the Grace of Vulnerability: C. S. Lewis and the Reimagining of Human Flourishing in a Theology of Disability," "Alterity & Patience: Becoming Human in a Catastrophic Age," and "Presence over Possession: Healthcare as a Social Primary Good."

He writes for those who believe theology should be practiced where bodies suffer, communities gather, and hope is learned again through presence.
