Pandemic, Panic, Pangolin, Pandemonium…
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…
Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.
