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.

A solidifying and empowering read in these strange times
A solidifying and empowering read in these strange times. A timely reminder that God indeed is restoring the world and calls his people to partner with him in this remaking. A good book for anyone feeling hopeless or disempowered.

No clear argument
This book proposed a good response on how Christians should respond to the pandemic giving the example of the Church of Antioch in the Book of Acts. The Church's response was asked these three simple questions: Who is going to be at special risk when this happens? What can we do to help? And who shall we send? However, this book doesn't offer a clear or a coherent argument; it was very confusing, hard to follow and a pain to read.
