When I became aware of the Corona virus in January of 2020, I thought I would continue to do what I have always done-to think and write about evil and suffering.

When I became aware of the Corona virus in January of 2020, I thought I would continue to do what I have always done-to think and write about evil and suffering. Thus, I began planning a book on Biblical views on evil and suffering. This was an effort to do what I have always done. That is, to use my skills to show what the Bible has said about times of crisis and turmoil. In my academic career, I have been trained as both a philosopher and a Biblical scholar. I have learned the Biblical languages, as well as other tongues such as Classical Greek and Medieval Latin of the Church so that I could read and study texts in the original languages. What better way, then, to contribute to the worldwide pandemic than to employ my skills in making a contribution to the current crisis? And so, this book should be seen as a summary and some reflections on what the Bible has had to say about the issues of evil and suffering when human beings are in times of calamity. I might suggest that the reader of this study have a copy of the Bible at his or her side when going through the book. This would allow the reader more easily to follow the arguments and explication to be found in the book.
