The church in earlier centuries endured pandemics or plagues, both with more frequency as well as having a more theological worldview.Tom Wright’s book directs us to such a biblical theological worldview. Wright argues that more than the question, “Why?”, the pandemic ought to drive us to “What?” What should we do? In Acts and the epistles, he shows examples of practical Christian love, in caring for the poor and needy, God and the Pandemic: A Christian Reflection on the Coronavirus and Its Aftermath, by Tom Wright (SPCK Publishing, 2020)http://tma.melbourneanglican.org.au/reviews/god-and-the-pandemic-reviewed-080920
