Andrew M. Langford, The Journal of Religion Louise J. Lawrence's Sense and Stigma is a creative piece of scholarship situated at the disciplinary crossroads of ethnography, cross-cultural sensory anthropology, disability studies, and biblical studies...scholars of religion havemuch to gain from Lawrence's provocative readings of familiar Gospel narratives, and this book will undoubtedly inspire further efforts toward the important task of reimagining the analysis of sensorial epistemologies at work in biblical texts.

Hector Avalos, Biblical Literature this book is a very important contribution to what can be called sensory criticism or corporeal criticism in biblical studies that focuses on the embodied human experience in biblical texts. This book should be read by anyone interested in how sense is both expressed and constructed by biblical authors and by biblical scholars.
