When Wright is Wrong (on that virus)

My apologies for the badly over-used pun.

First of all some axe  grinding. I saw a statement on social media linking Tom Wright's TIME Christianity-has-no-answers-about-Coronavirus article to "amillennial hopelessness." I thought it was a careless remark - and I confess to being a frequent offender BTW.

Wright's problems have nothing to do with his millennial view. In fact he's been well responded to by Reformed folk who aren't premillennial. We shouldn't be using our millennial or rapture positions as hammers to beat up on people who disagree with us. Our hope is only found in Christ, not in our particular eschatological positions.

Some responses to Wright:

Doug Wilson

Dan Phillips
