Lluis Oviedo, Pontificia Università Antonianum, February 2021, Studia Humana 10(1), pp.1-7.

Abstract:A question arises regarding theology and its functions when try ingto cope with the coronavirus pandemic. Surely Christian faith –along with other religions –can play a role in helping todeal with this crisis, both for individuals and collectively. Theology connects with theeffort religious faithand Churches perform and provides models and ideas tohighlightthe Christian sense of what is happening, that is, in reference to a saving God. Four keys, rooted in the Christian tradition, are proposed that allow us to understandthese difficult times in a meaningful way, that is, as revealing “signs of the times” for believers, assisting them in their struggle to cope with these challenging circum stances. 

Keywords:salvation,apocalypse,conversion,paschal mystery, incarnation, religious coping,hope.
