• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

COVID-19 TOOK THE WORLD BY surprise. Nobody expected this pandemic. We were rattled. We panicked. We feared its deadly sting. We have never seen a crisis like this in our lifetime. Did God cause it? Are we experiencing the force that would wipe humanity out from the face of the earth? Is this the end of the world? Is Mother Nature pouring out her wrath on humans for our irresponsibility? Are we at war with Mother Nature? Are we really responsible for this pandemic? There is no end to questions and also to speculations. REFLECTIONS is a work in the midst of the pandemic itself. It takes the pandemic and its challenges before the light of the Holy Scripture and the sacred task of doing theology. In this book are 43 reflections that address questions, relationships, and meanings of the dynamic interrelationship of COVID-19, Bible, and Theology in plain and easy language ordinary men and women can understand and relate to.

REFLECTIONS: COVID-19, BIBLE, AND THEOLOGY is wide-ranging but deeply challenging reflections. It is biblical, theological, and practical, prophetic and prescriptive, critical and creative. The book calls us to biblical worldview that is rooted in both the primary and secondary sources of theology: Scripture (primary), Tradition, Reason, Experience (Secondary). If you are a reader - reflective, a teacher - informative, a leader - developing people, like me, I recommend this book. It is very transformational.

Far from being just a shopping list of exhausting horizontally-focused news, REFLECTIONS represents Jason Hallig's sustained interaction with and deep reflection on the most current crisis involving biblical relevance and application. Here's an invitation to move beyond lament to intercession to practicing compassion. This book serves as a vertical news, a timely utterance to the hurting kosmos who still holds on to divine providence and restoration.

Ironically, a vision of a bright future is blurred in 2020. Thankfully, we are not without hope, especially when we can look at events from a proper vantage point. Jason Hallig's REFLECTIONS: COVID-19, BIBLE, AND THEOLOGY provides timely insights for the global pandemic we all face today. It does not promise to give definitive answers to the questions why these things happen, but shows us how to use the Scripture as the lens through which we can see God and ourselves in the midst of these trying times.
