Where is God in a Coronavirus World Book Review - John Lennox

Author: John Lennox

About the Book
There is a wide range of responses to the new circumstance of the Coronavirus pandemic. This is one of the more accommodating ones. 

Taking just seven days of composing, writer and Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, John Lennox, has run off a short book – which he portrays as the sort of thing he would state on the off chance that somebody sitting in a café with him was to pose the inquiry, "Where is God in a Coronavirus world?" 


The outcome is a basic, simple to-peruse protection of the Christian comprehension of God even with what Lennox calls "a baffling and agitating time" when "a large portion of our old surenesses have gone".

LENNOX PROVIDES A STRAIGHT FORWARD TREATMENT OF THE PROBLEM OF EVIL 

It is a book with apparent qualities and shortcomings. Its qualities lie in Lennox's direct and away from what ends up being another variant of the exemplary issue of wickedness. He outlines the issue regarding perspective – that is, "the structure, developed throughout the years, which contains the reasoning and experience that every one of us presents as a powerful influence for the unavoidable issues about existence, passing and the importance of presence"

Skepticism is immediately excused as coming up short since it eventually sets a world without God, however without even great or malevolent also. Lennox is certain this is basically not liveable.

"A world without good and evil is not liveable" 

The majority of the book is taken up with the subject of how there can be a Coronavirus if there is a caring God. Lennox starts by taking note of that infection, similar to seismic tremors it turns out, have an upside for human prospering too. He clarifies the truth of what he calls "profound blemishes both in human instinct and physical nature" (p.44). 

Proof FOR A GOD WE CAN TRUST 

Eventually, notwithstanding, discussing the topic of what a decent, adoring, all-ground-breaking God should, could or may have done prompts no acceptable result. Lennox would prefer the peruser take a gander at the extraordinary and better inquiry of whether, even with a universe both of natural excellence and fatal pathogens, there is any proof of "a God whom we can trust with the suggestions, and with our lives and our prospects" (p45). 

The appropriate response is found essentially in Jesus, whose restoration is the assurance of extreme and welcome equity, and whose cross and revival offers "pardoning and harmony with God that can be known in this life and suffers everlastingly". 

At long last, Lennox offers guidance on how Christians ought to react to the pandemic in a part that broadly cites C.S. Lewis on living with nuclear weapons, and ongoing article about Christian reactions to different pandemics consistently, and the moving record of a victim of engine neuron illness, comparing her battle to the effective move to the highest point of the mountain. 


In so concise a book so quickly composed the shortcomings of Where is God in a Coronavirus World? are likewise obvious, if maybe unavoidable. It gave me the impression of attempting to cover to an extreme degree a lot of material unreasonably rapidly to be extremely good. However, in the correct conditions, this short distribution could, in any case, be useful in inciting a peruser to facilitate reflection and investigation of the significant inquiries that it raises.
