Abstract
Observes how the contemporary global COVID-19 crisis has its origins in the human treatment of other species. Reflects on how we might interpret COVID-19 theologically via the parallels between the pandemic and Noah and the flood (Gen 6-9). Offers suggestions for how the church may view this social isolation period as an opportunity to deepen our ecological awareness, advocating for lives of greater simplicity and care for our non-human neighbours, thus preparing us for the changed realities and the future possibilities that will potentially emerge in a post COVID-19 world.
