Theology That Bites Back
Introduction: And so let me begin by explaining my use of that term shamdemic, in case that got your attention, and lest my views here be misrepresented. I do not mean that the virus is somehow fake, or that there are not places that are severely affected. I do not mean to belittle the suffering …
