Ang pag-aaral na ito ay nagsusuri sa representasyon ng mga taong may kapansanan sa Mabuting Balita ayon kay Lucas. Layunin nitong mailarawan ang representasyon ng mga taong may kapansanan sa mga piling salaysay ng Ebanghelyo, masuri ang pananaw at pakikitungo ni Jesus sa kanila, matukoy ang implikasyon nito sa pagsusulong ng inklusibong pananampalataya, at maunawaan ang pagbasa at pag-unawa ng mga Millennials at Gen Z sa mga tekstong ito sa kasalukuyang konteksto. Gumamit ang pag-aaral ng kwalitatibong disenyo na pinagsasama ang tekstuwal na pagsusuri at stimulus-based semi-structured interviews. Sinuri ang mga piling salaysay mula sa Mabuting Balita ayon kay Lucas na nagtatampok ng mga taong may kapansanan, habang nagsagawa rin ng panayam sa tatlumpung (30) Kristiyanong kalahok na binubuo ng labinlimang (15) Millennials at labinlimang (15) Gen Z. Ang mga datos ay sinuri gamit ang Reflexive Thematic Analysis nina Braun at Clarke (2006, 2019), na sinuportahan ng mga lente na Literary Disability Criticism at Hermeneutikong Interpretasyon. Lumalabas sa resulta na ang mga taong may kapansanan sa mga salaysay ay inilalarawan bilang may dignidad, ahensiya, at aktibong papel sa naratibo, sa halip na pasibong tagatanggap lamang ng himala. Ipinakita rin na ang pakikitungo ni Jesus ay nakaugat sa habag, pagkilala sa pagkatao, at inklusibong pakikibahagi sa komunidad. Mula sa pananaw ng mga Millennials at Gen Z, ang mga salaysay ay binabasa bilang pagdiriwang ng dignidad ng tao, pagtanggap sa pagkakaiba-iba, at pagsusulong ng inklusyon, bagama’t nagkakaiba ang diin ng bawat henerasyon sa espiritwal at panlipunang pagbasa. Samakatuwid, ipinakikita ng pag-aaral na ang mga salaysay ng Mabuting Balita ayon kay Lucas ay maaaring muling basahin hindi lamang bilang mga kuwento ng himala, kundi bilang mga naratibo ng dignidad, inklusyon, at katarungang panlipunan na patuloy na humuhubog sa pananampalataya at kamalayang panlipunan ng kasalukuyang henerasyon.
