Author Description

''There are different ways to approach the Covid-19 pandemic. In this book the authors appraoch the crisis of the pandemic as academics who are engaged in teaching and research in their respectivedisciplines and who consequently view the pandemic through those lenses. They are part of the opinion that the individual Christians and congregations could be tempted to disengage and go into survival mode during times of disruption and uncertainity. This would be un-Christian thing to do. The voices in this book challenge us in a unique way to stop, listen, think again, see diffrently and act anew. They help us to move out of confined spaces where everyone thinks as we do. They test our assumptions, let us see the nature and roots of our challenges more clearly and provide wider windows. They could ensure that the next steps in our discernment, policy making, interventions and projects are more appropriate.''--Back cover.
