FAITH IN THE TIME OF PLAGUE

Description

STEPHEN COLEMAN & TODD RESTER

For Christians of the Reformation and Post-Reformation era, plagues of contagious disease were not uncommon. Pastors and leaders regularly faced the ethical dilemmas that prove so divisive today. Drawing on a genre of church literature almost wholly unknown to modern readers, Faith in the Time of Plague presents – in new and classic translations – the wisdom of these leaders of the past for Christians ministering and living in times of crisis and uncertainty today.

Includes hymns, treatises, and prayers by Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, Theodore Beza, Gisbertus Voetius, Johannes Hoornbeeck, Cyprian of Carthage, Zacharias Ursinus, George Abbot, John Rawlet, Jerome Zanchi, Ludwig Lavater, and Andre Rivet.
