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 is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and the Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Said Business School and an Adjunct Lecturer for The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He has been part of numerous public debates defending the Christian faith against well known atheists including Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Peter Singer.

    This is an excellent read, that only takes a couple of hours, on where God is during the pandemic, very encouraging.

    I enjoyed reading the book an for a Christian felt it put the virus into context, but didn't really feel it gave a definitive answer to be able to use when non-Christians ask this question

    An easy-to-read little book but just what I needed to read at this time. I found it a real comfort to hear what the author was saying and it would be a good book for both Christians and non-Christians to read. There is so much anxiety around and secular news stories can make us confused and depressed. The author doesn't sugar-coat pain and suffering but gives us hope throughout it. Another book I read recently was "The Red Sea Rules" by Robert J Morgan. Another small book but packed with Bible-based help for difficult times. Highly recommend both books.

    Overall a brilliant summary in as much of an answer we could expect from such a question. It is the eternal question of "WHY?" but John Lennox puts The pandemic & previous calamities into perspective & historical context, then eases gently over to the real & only answer -ie Absolute trust in God's justice but also in His utmost involvement with the problem of Sin thro the gracious & wonderful sacrifice of Jesus. Then leading to the need for each of us to reach out to hHm & trust him above everything & in all circumstances. Jon Lennox puts together an succinct, yet not "PAT" answer - all the more amazing in the short time to produce it.

    This is a clear short study of the scientific and theological aspects of our current crisis. Great scientific understanding with a thoughtful consideration of different religious viewpoints and how Christianity brings a real hope in a needy world.

    John Lennox is one of my favourite apologists/speakers. This book did not disappoint. Short, low cost and full of wisdom and insight. I bought three and gave one to my pastor and an elder who also loved it. I also precised it on FaceBook.
