Publisher's Summary
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.

You won’t be able to put it down!
This book was excellent. Exactly what we need to be reminded of in 2020. The book starts by looking at the Old Testament and how christians responded in times of crisis, then Jesus coming and his message and ends with the New Testament. It’s wonderfully organized, easy to read and N. T. wright’s voice top’s it off. Highly recommend!

Worthwhile listen
Each chapter took me a couple listens. Those familiar with Wright will know that his content is quite dense. Don't expect this book to be simply "this is what God thinks of coronavirus". Wright offers suggestions and insight into a biblical perspective of the pandemic, what things we may glean, ways which we may interact and ways in which we may move forward. Leaving you with tools in hand to build a framework in which to properly navigate the months ahead.
