The Covid Pandemic and the World's Religions : Challenges and Responses

Believers from a variety of faith communities were asked to assess how the Covid pandemic has affected their faith. The anthology collects their responses to key questions, such as: A� How does your faith explain why such events occur? A� How has it affected your religious practices? A� What changes has it necessitated? A� What differences might we expect once the pandemic is over? A� What have we learned from it? Two exponents of each major religion and a number of minority faiths comment on these issues, combined with a concluding essay by the editors assessing the overall impact of the pandemic on religion worldwide. Faiths explored include Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Sikh Baha�_Ti, Jain, African Traditional Religion, Zoroastrian, Unitarian, Jehovah�_Ts Witnesses and Christian Science.
