Pandemic: Reflections on COVID-19, God's Sovereignty, the Church, & Mission (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777235635)

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the SARS COVID-2 (COVID-19) virus to be a worldwide pandemic. The news led to a reaction unlike anything we have seen before, utter pandemonium and governmental lockdown measures that brought most of the world to a stand still. As was expected, the church was not unaffected by the socio-cultural reaction, it too was subject to the lockdowns and later government mandated restrictions. In unprecedented times, members of the church have been asking How do we make sense of COVID-19? Is God still in control of all things? And how can we carry out the Great Commission in a COVID/post-COVID world? Steven R. Martins provides some reflection on these sobering questions.
