Summary
Details

How do African Pentecostals theologize about pandemics, evil, and hope? What are the religio-theological lessons that can be drawn from COVID-19 and the history of pandemics in Africa? This book draws from African theological, philosophical, historical, and practical theological perspectives to discuss the discourses and responses to pandemics in African socio-cultural contexts. Their authors, from diverse perspectives, look at the relevance of African eschatological and apocalyptic attitudes to pandemics to illustrate how sometimes, Christians seem powerless in the face of evil and suffering. In other words, theodicy, as it relates to public health issues continues to be a live issue within the African religious sphere. The collection of essays offers responses to issues of God's omnipotence, theodicy, and hope, in difficult times. The collection proposes a Christian theological framework for ministry in the African context in times of suffering and evil.
