After an unflinching diagnosis, the book is a summons to radical, active, transformative hope among those who have the wits and the courage to 'refound' viable community. It is framed according to Catholic Social Teaching, but has a deep appeal for those of us outside that particular frame of reference. In Arbuckle's knowing hands the pandemic becomes a venue for radical restorative hope.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e--Walter Brueggemann, author, A Gospel of Hope \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA noted Catholic theologian and anthropologist weaves together insights from anthropology and theology to provide an analysis of the role of the Church in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe award-winning author of \u003ci\u003ePope Francis and the People of God\u003c\/i\u003e turns to the crisis of COVID-19, its diverse impacts on people and communities, and how the Catholic Church might respond.
