Discover a different way of seeing and responding to the Coronavirus pandemic, an approach drawing on Scripture, Christian history, and the way of living, thinking, and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

What are we supposed to think about the Coronavirus crisis?

Some people think they know: "This is a sign of the End," they say. "It's all predicted in the book of Revelation."

Others disagree but are equally clear: "This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he's telling us to change."

Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: "It's the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization…"

N. T. Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he shows that a careful reading of the Bible and Christian history offers simple though profound answers to our many questions, including:

  • What should be the Christian response?
  • How should we think about God?
  • How do we live in the present?
  • Why should we lament?
  • What should we learn about ourselves?
  • How do we recover?

Written by one of the world's foremost New Testament scholars, God and the Pandemic will serve as your guide to read the events of today through the light of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Reviews

How Should The Church Respond to this Pandemic?
This is a short essay but a timely one. In getting to the heart of the matter N.T. Wright confronts the Western Church on what its response should be in this time of “Sheltering in Place.” I very much appreciated his insights in some of the little things that we all have questions about.

Should the church be closed? Well, N.T. Wrights take on the issue is not to debate whether we should be closed but to ask the question, does it really matter? The church can be the church whether it is meeting in a building or meeting online. The real question is, “What is the church doing to help out their fellow man during this time?”He gives us a good historical look back on how the church responded in previous times to different plagues that ran rampant through the world. Often times the church was at the forefront of healing, caring and praying with the sick during different plagues.

I think he is correct that while the church is “closed” to worship services it is never closed to doing God’s work. Pastors and laypeople should not be absent from society during this time. They should be engaged in doing what they can to help during this time. Find creative ways to be God’s ands and feet to the people around you.

This is a short read, but there are some real nuggets of gold in there for each of us.
