Summary
How belief in a loving and sovereign God helps us to make sense of and cope with the coronavirus outbreak.

We are living through a unique, era-defining period. Many of our old certainties have gone, whatever our view of the world and whatever our beliefs. The coronavirus pandemic and its effects are perplexing and unsettling for all of us. How do we begin to think it through and cope with it?

In this short yet profound book, Oxford mathematics professor John Lennox examines the coronavirus in light of various belief systems and shows how the Christian worldview not only helps us to make sense of it, but also offers us a sure and certain hope to cling to.

Here's why John Lennox wrote the book:
"This book consists of my reflections on what we are experiencing right now. I started writing it a week ago, and things have changed quickly since then and no doubt will do again...I would invite you, the reader, to view the book like this: we are sitting in a coffee shop (if only we could!) and you have asked me the question on the book cover. I put down my coffee cup and attempt to give you an honest answer. What follows is what I would try to say in order to convey some comfort, support and hope."

John Lennox explains how most of us will deal with the Coronavirus. #1- Intellectually #2- Emotionally and # 3- Spiritually. Most of us don’t have a problem relating to and dealing with the first two. Unfortunately, the third will often be ignored. Christians have the answer that all of us need to deal with this natural evil. An atheist belief system characterizes the coronavirus as necessary and neither good nor evil. Without the belief system that indeed there is a thing called “good” and a thing called “evil” there is no need for belief in a creator God. Although God created a perfect world God created man and woman with freedom of choice. This freedom of choice made possible the ability to love and trust and forgive each other. Man and woman chose to disobey God’s perfect world and perfect way God instructions gave to them. This disobedience had terrible consequences, not only to the man and the woman, but also to their future progeny and to the natural world in which we live. One of the terrible consequences is the terrible consequences like the coronavirus. Making sense of why God would allow these terrible consequences is something that we all struggle with. The real struggle within us, is the fact we all have made bad choices and we refuse to believe God is the ultimate arbiter of our fate, too. Let us be found doing things that bring us together and not separating us. God has the answers we all need to understand the sufferings we go through in this life. Some more than others, but we all should bear others burdens.
