Pandemics in Church History


Listen Later

Michael A. G. Haykin, "'The Best Friend in the Worst Time': Pandemics in Church History" The Banner of Truth Magazine, No. 689, February 2021, pp. 4–8. We are prone to think we are the only people ever to experience something like our present pandemic. This last year and last, we have heard the phrase "in these unprecedented times" so often that it has become a cliché. In five brief pages, Michael Haykin surveys the church's experience with pandemics throughout history. Our times are not so unprecedented as we might think. Still, it is important to consider what is unique about our circumstances even while we contemplate what lessons we might learn from church history.
