Faith in the Time of Plague
Selected Writings from the Reformation and Post-Reformation
Description:... We often hear the Covid-19 pandemic described as "unprecedented", yet for Christians of earlier times, plague was nothing new. For generations, Church leaders regularly faced the sorts of ethical questions that still prove divisive today. Selecting from the great "plague writings" of the historic church, Todd M. Rester and Stephen M. Coleman have translated and assembled a one-of-a-kind anthology. The wisdom of the past collected in this book offers much-needed and trustworthy illumination for pastors, leaders, and laypeople in times of crisis and uncertainty. Many of the works appearing in Faith in the Time of Plague have never been available in English until now. Included in this volume are the writings of Martin Luther, Theodore Beza, Ulrich Zwingli, Cyprian of Carthage, Zacharias Ursinus, Gisbertus Voetius, and many more. Introduced by Peter A. Lillback, Faith in the Time of Plague also includes a Foreword from Mayo Clinic Virologist, Dr. Gregory A. Poland. --
