DESCRIPTION: In this reflection, John Blevins, Director of the Interfaith Health Program examines the COVID-19 outbreak in light a liberation theology perspective developed by Dr. Steve de Gruchy.  Drawing on Steve’s ideas, John argues that one way to understand the COVID-19 outbreak is to reflect on the theological meanings of two biblical narratives: the story of freedom from bondage in Exodus and the story of the creation in Genesis.
