There was a lot in this book that I found so helpful. In particular chapter 17. However because it was written very much around the whole time of Covid there were parts which didn’t resonate so much with today’s issues. If I could I would give it 3.5.

It was okay. There are a lot of good thoughts in there, but it does not really succeed in being a biblical theology book. I felt like I couldn't decide what genre this book was.
