God and the Pandemic

Wright deals with this big topic from a really biblical point of view, from a genuinely Christian perspective. It is so easy to let the Bible become nothing more than an excuse for our unrepentant dramatics, despair, or sense of superiority. Wright dashes all that nonsense to the ground with a good dose of biblical realism, Christian humility, and divine hope. Do you need to read this book? Almost certainly you do.

I spent a lot of time with this book for a class. Analyzed it for a presentation. I would have felt it flighty in a quick read but it was fantastically written, thorough and deep.
