God and the Pandemic

A Christian Reflection on the Coronavirus and Its Aftermath

De: N. T. Wright

Narrado por: N. Wright

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.

Prophetic and Powerful

Wright nails it on the head. The church needs to be people of prayer at the Poona of theme world’s pain. A pandemic is not a time to proselytize half truths about God’s wrath. It is a time to weep with those that weep and to sacrificially care for the hurting and needy. This is what it looks like to be the Imago Dei in an Infectious Day.

A source of hope

I wish I had access to this book at the beginning of the pandemic. N.T. Wright offers calm assurance in these troubling times. Outstanding book!

A beautiful guide through difficult times

I've read many things from this author as a student of religion and he never disappoints. He speaks beautifully and in an uncomplicated way. This was a great book to help us all understand these difficult times!

N.T. Wright never disappoints

Thoughtful and truly what Christianity should be about - pray and Do - lament and work towards the kingdom of God.

A Great Biblical Approach to the Pandemic

Wow, N.T. Wright nailed the approach to dealing with the pandemic. I wish I had listened to it earlier. Nevertheless, his Biblical understanding will guide me in the coming days. Don't miss reading this book! It will guide us to being the loving Church Christ wants us to be.
