    Sickness Shaped the Faith of This Family of Fourth Century Theologians

    The most famous siblings of the early church are likely two brothers, Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa, and their sister Macrina. “She was deeply precious to them for her love, her insight, and her wisdom; they even called her “Teacher,” wrote David Hutchings for Christianity Today last year. Macrina ultimately died after a long battle with an unknown illness. Her life and suffering inspired several works by Gregory of Nyssa, including the Life of Macrina and On the Soul and the Resurrection. On this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Amy Brown Hughes, assistant professor of theology at Gordon College and author of Christian Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority and Legacy in the Second Through Fifth Centuries, along with Lynn H. Cohick, discusses Basil, Macrina, and Gregory’s remarkable family, why Macrina’s death made such an impression, and what the church needs to hear from them today.  Read Christianity Today’s latest coronavirus coverage What is Prayer amid Pandemic?

    What a Plague-Ravaged Village Knew About Eternity

    The village of Eyam sits about 30 miles East of Manchester in the UK and according to the 2011 British census, it has less than 1,000 residents. But during the 17th century, this unassuming town was hit by the bubonic plague. In the coming months, it killed dozens of residents. Then, just when town leaders thought the crisis had abated, it struck again. On this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Mathew Knell, the program leader and lecturer in historical theology and church history at the London School of Theology, describes how the church overall reacted during the time to the bubonic plague, why the story of Eyam has turned into a myth over time, and why the faith of the leaders in the village should inspire the church today. Carlos Barros is Cru’s director of Vida en Familia in Tucumán, Argentina and offers this episode’s prayer. Read Christianity Today’s latest coronavirus coverage What is Prayer amid Pandemic?

    The Black Death Left Many Terrified. Not Catherine of Siena.

    Much of Catherine of Siena’s life was defined by sickness and plagues. The future saint was born in 1347. The next year, the Black Death began—an epidemic that killed more than 20 million people over the next five years. Despite growing up surrounded by death, Catherine was unafraid. When a plague struck again less than two decades later, the 20-something convinced her followers to stay and serve the sick. Catherine was relentless in her work. According to historian Philip Schaff she “day and night, healed those of whom the physicians despaired, and she even raised the dead.On this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Karen Scott, an associate professor of history and Catholic studies at DePaul University, explains how Catherine’s life was shaped by the aftermath of the Black Plague, why her actions to the suffering were so radical, and what the church can learn from her example today. Thir Koirala, Nepal Micah’s national coordinator, offers this episode’s prayer. Read Christianity Today’s latest coronavirus coverage What is Prayer amid Pandemic?
