A Biblical Response to Covid-19

By Bishop Harvey Spencer

Bishop Harvey Spencer never thought he’d witness a pandemic—just as he never expected to see the election of a Black president, the election of a female vice president (Black or otherwise), or an insurrection.
But all of those things have happened, and our lives have been forever altered. In this book, he seeks to discover what God is trying to reveal to us by letting COVID-19 run rampant.
By studying the Bible, he discovered it is not silent when it comes to fighting an infectious disease. He answers questions such as:
• How did ancient Israel fight the spread of another infectious disease—leprosy?
• What does the Bible tell us about quarantining individuals who are sick or may be sick?
• Why do some elected officials continue to display a lack of leadership amid the pandemic?
The author also examines what the Bible says about using face coverings, what the world has done to fight other outbreaks of disease, and similarities between COVID-19 and other deadly viruses.
Get simple, practical explanations from the Bible that will help you understand the spread of COVID-19—and how to protect yourself—with A Biblical Response to COVID-19.
