Description
This was not intended to be a religious book. But on occasion, I mention a personal belief, and in the final chapter, I reference the God of Abraham, in whom Jews, Muslims, and Christians profess belief. I mention this because the book can be read as a response to the challenge “the people’s pope” gave to society at the start of the pandemic.
In The New York Times, on November 20, 2020, Pope Francis wrote, “A crisis reveals what is in our hearts. To come out of this crisis better than we went in, we must let ourselves be touched by others’ pain.” We can hope, then, to have come out of the COVID pandemic better than when we went into it.
As I considered the many changes in American culture that moved center stage during the COVID pandemic, I wondered to what extent that challenge has been met. This book is one response to that question.
