Maynooth College reflects on COVID 19: New Realities in Uncertain Times

Where is God in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? This volume offers a variety of reflections from the perspectives of theology, scripture, philosophy, ethics, liturgy, pastoral, and canon law.

The chapters are addressed to anyone seeking understanding, whatever the level of faith. The book will be helpful for those in parish ministry and interested laypersons, especially in the Irish context. Besides being valuable for personal reading, the volume is also a welcome resource for parish councils or small parish groups, because each chapter concludes with questions for reflection and discussion. This book seeks to offer the beginnings of a theological reflection that will doubtless take years to complete.

Contributors to the volume include Tom Casey SJ, Anne Codd PBVM, Padraig Corkery, Jeremy Corley, Philip Gonzales, Michael Hurley, Gaven Kerr, Noirin Lynch, Michael Mullaney, Neil Xavier O'Donoghue, Kevin O'Gorman SMA, Noel O'Sullivan, Jessie Rogers, Salvador Ryan, and Michael Shortall. The volume also includes an interview on the pandemic originally given to the Tablet by Pope Francis.
