Description
Christian World Imprints Faith And Pandemic Covid-19 In Perspectives Towards Theo-Pandemology by Editors: Songram Basumatary And Wilson Paluri
The book Faith and Pandemic is yet another bold theological step of Gurukul in it adventurous journey “Towards Bold Theological Vision” which critically examines the impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic on Faith and the conventional theological responses to human suffering from diseases, natural calamities and disasters. The book basically tries to answer the basic question – “How do we understand and face the Covid-19 Pandemic that has shaken the entire world unlike ever before impacting every realm of human life across faith communities, caste/class, and colour in an unprecedented proportion?” The distinctive contribution of the volume is the neologism, a new theological construct – Theo-pandemology that brings new light on the very perception of God, of human suffering and of faith/religion and make a radical counter against the theological normativity or simplistic theological answers to the question of human suffering. Notwithstanding the radical theological challenge, the book also provides viable practical responses to existential and theological questions raised by common people suffering from Covid-19 Pandemic and its impacts.
