This essay is a reflection on COVID-19 in the United States, specifically in the state of Alabama, and among marginalized populations with whom I work. Past generations have demonstrated living in faith, hope, and love in the midst of and despite great suffering and turmoil. This essay includes my thoughts about how faith manifests itself individually and corporately and raises ongoing questions about how believers may promote radical change and confront societal inequities—especially in light of COVID-19.

J. L. Wright
This essay details the author’s experiences as a medical director at Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Richmond, Virginia, the first nursing home to have a COVID-19 outbreak in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It explores how the deaths of his patients challenged his faith and raised issues of theodicy. Ultimately, the author does not ask for an explanation of evil, but urges us to examine our culpability and our responsibility, then listen to Jesus’s call to repentance (Luke 13:1–5). In the end, our light, as weak as it is, must persist in the darkness.

This essay seeks to utilize ideas and texts found in the Hebrew Bible in order to historically contextualize the COVID-19 pandemic and to illuminate various existential, religious, political, and ethical issues raised by the current pandemic and our responses to it.

Safwat Marzouk
As a response to communities of faith that are trying to make sense of the COVID-19 pandemic, this essay explores biblical traditions about “chaos” represented by primordial waters and monsters that disturb the created order. The essay begins with a summary of three biblical portrayals of chaos: chaos as integral to the created world, chaos as mystery, and chaos intensified by human rebellion. The discussion then weighs divine sovereignty and human responsibility and accepts that chaos is a part of life that challenges humans to work to make this world a better place. Among many possible responses to the chaos presented by the pandemic, this article will focus on lament, fear and trust, and repentance.

The context of illness, plagues, and healing in early Christianity and late antiquity was a factor in the growth and expansion of early Christianity. The most prominent early images from early Christian art depict Christ healing. This essay will examine the historical context of plagues and the Christian response to show how the healing Christ affected the security of Christian ascendency. From this study, the essay offers insight into our present pandemic context of COVID-19 and evaluates the religious response.

The western edge of the Ordos Basin has abundant oil and gas resources. To explore the stages and direction of hydrocarbon fluids migration in petroliferous basins, the hydrocarbon-bearing strata in the Majiatan area on the west margin of the Ordos Basin was analyzed based on petrographic observations, homogenization temperature, salinity and composition of inclusions. The inclusions can be identified as five types. Type I, II and III inclusions exhibit abundant hydrocarbon content, whereas Type IV and V show poor hydrocarbon content. Based on homogenization temperature and salinity analysis, the five types of inclusions can be divided into two-stage formation, Type I, II and III included in the early stage and Type IV and V formed in the late stage. The direction of the hydrocarbon fluid migration of the early and late stages was from the southeast to the northwest, and the difference between the two stages of hydrocarbon fluid migration and inclusions formation depends on the fault activity from the Triassic to the Jurassic. This study is of great significance for future exploration of oil and gas in the Ordos Basin's western margin.
