What Francis Grimké Believed the Spanish Flu Revealed About Racism

The future Presbyterian minister Francis Grimké was born in 1850. His father was a slaveholder and his mother was enslaved. While Grimké was still young his father died of the yellow fever epidemic and although his father had tried to preventatively take care of his family before he passed, the death catapulted Grimké and his siblings’ childhoods into hardship and mistreatment.

A staunch proponent of Reformed theology, Grimké also spent much of his ministry involved in the battle for civil rights for African Americans.

Where Was God in Spurgeon's Chronic Pain?

Wednesday, April 29, 2020 • Duration 15:24

One of the biggest names in 19th-century British preaching was a man named Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon’s preaching career began in the countryside. Though he was not formally trained, the then-teenage orator’s sermons drew the public’s attention and at the age of 19 he moved to London. “Spurgeon’s language was graphic, emotionally charged, occasionally maudlin and sentimental,” wrote Patricia Stallings Kruppa for Christian History. Though the world knew him for his showmanship, Spurgeon, along with his wife, also suffered from chronic pain, a matter that came up frequently in his writings about God. In this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Thomas Breimaier, the author of the forthcoming work, Tethered to the Cross: The Life and Preaching of Charles H. Spurgeon and a tutor in systematic theology and history at Spurgeon’s College, shares about how a cholera outbreak in London changed the Spurgeon’s ministry and how he theologically made sense of his chronic pain. Flemlyn Ragobeer, the general secretary for Inter School/ InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of Guyana, offers this week’s prayer.

When Julian of Norwich Was Sick, God Appeared

Friday, April 24, 2020 • Duration 20:36

"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.” That these 17 words were uttered by a woman named Julian of Norwich may be the only thing you know about this 14th-century English saint. Historians don’t necessarily know that much more. We’re not even sure her real name. So why do we remember her? In this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Amy Laura Hall, the author of Laughing at the Devil: Seeing the World with Julian of Norwich and a Christian ethics professor at Duke Divinity School, tell us why we know so little about Julian’s identity but why we still read her writings on the vision she received while sick today.

When Predestination Met the Plague

Friday, April 17, 2020 • Duration 15:56

No list of the great men of Protestantism is complete without John Calvin. Born in 1507 in Lyon, France, most of us today know Calvin for his theology. But Calvin also spent much of his life in excruciating pain. The Reformer suffered from hemorrhoids, kidney stones, gout, an enlarged spleen, heartburn, indigestion and chronic insomnia, according to the medical journal Hektoen International. Calvin also likely died from tuberculosis. Much of Calvin’s ministry occurred in Geneva, Switzerland, where the plague visited five times during that time. In this episode of Prayer amid Pandemic, Christianity Today’s editor in chief and the author of Wisdom of the Saints (and Near Saints): Christian Inspiration from Ambrose to Zwingli Daniel Harrell shares how the reformer’s views on predestination affected how he and his community responded to the epidemic. Dinesha Samararatne, a postdoctoral fellow in constitutional law and a Sri Lankan living in Australia, offers this week’s prayer.
