Where is God in a Coronavirus World?

Os Guinness

No voice in the Western world is clearer and wiser than that of John Lennox. For all who want to pause to think, this is the book to read.

David Cranston

In the last few months the world has changed. John has written a number of books but none before in the space of a week, as he has this one. Yet despite its brief gestation, this book puts the coronavirus pandemic into a historical, scientific, theological and personal perspective that will help all of us who are in the midst of this crisis to view the situation though a wider-angled lens.

“Forensic examination”

As one expected from Mr Lennox. A forensic examination of a question many folk have been pondering - myself included. It is short book with no frills. Helpful insights during this time of lockdown.

“Stimulating but ducks the tougher issues of both natural and moral evil.”

I learnt much from this book about science and nature, and its introduction to Christian thinking will help many who are new to this area. But as a discussion of evil it falls short. No serious account of the problem of "natural evil" can afford to omit the Second Law of Thermodynamics as Lennox does. Nor can any proper Christian account of "moral evil" omit any mention of the devil (Lennox's Garden of Eden does not even contain a serpent!), and the fact that the reason why Christ appeared was to destroy his works (1 John 3:8) - not just to counter human sinfulness as is commonly suggested today. To omit this is to fail to give the full presentation of the Christian worldview which the commendations lead us to expect. Hence the claim that Lennox avoids "ducking the issues" is a considerable exaggeration. But those to whom that is not a concern will find it a stimulating read.

“An inspiring little book”

A great way to spread the Good News to non-believers, and to encourage believers. Bought a box full so that they can be spread around.

“Great Book”

Having been recommend to buy and read this book,I was not disappointed by what I read inside,As a Christian we need to stand by what Our God can do in COVID 19,Also a lot of people have said they have meet John Lennox,All Christian's should read this book.The Price is AMAZING.

“A Great Read”

Found this book very helpful, I particularly enjoyed the C S Lewis quotes

“Excellent.”

Excellent insight into a complex issue.

“A great book to give away!”

A very useful book to reach out to neighbours, friends, family members, and work colleagues in the current climate of fear and anxiety caused by the Coronavirus. A thinking person's book that points the way to the reality of the Christian hope.

“Book lives up to its title”

This little book is written by a thinking man and a spiritual man. As a street evangelist there are many good points in this book that will help me with those awkward questions on why a so called loving God allows bad things to happen. I finally found time to read it and as I finished it I restarted reading it right away. So much useful information in this little book and the issue of where God is in Corona Virus is examined from every angle. Well worth reading. I recommend it.

“Helpful insights into the problem of suffering”

Where is God in a Coronavirus World?
Some questions simmer below the surface all the time; when disaster or tragedy strike, they boil up to the top of our minds and we keep asking, Why? Why this suffering? How can a God of love allow this to happen – to me? To them?’ We are living in a time when this question won’t go away. Professor John Lennox has written this short book to help Christian believers and non-believers think through this perplexing issue. He writes clearly and accessibly, not giving definitive answers – no one can – but sharing insights into this problem which troubles so many, particularly at this time of bereavement, pain and financial struggle. It is well worth reading.
