“…We and others have also made the case for the population health opportunities available from building back better, fairer, and differently, after the initial waves have passed. 8 , 9 In this essay, we extend these approaches to the cost-of-living crisis. Although our focus is on the UK, we hope our thinking is translatable to other settings.…”

“…Relating to this, the idea of 'the great reset' emerged among economists and other world leaders in the wake of the pandemic and the World Economic Forum's so-called 'reset report' as an urgent reminder that COVID-19 called all spheres of society to reflect deeply when heading into the post-COVID-19 era (cf. Labonté 2022). Judging by what has emerged from post-COVID-19 research about churches so far, waiting for the church to return to its pre-COVID-19 state does not seem an option at all.…”

Peer-review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer-Review of Scholarly Books'. The book proposal form was evaluated by our Theological and Religious Studies editorial board. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer-review before publication by two technical expert reviewers who did not include the author(s) or editor(s) and were independent of the author(s) and editor(s), with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s) and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's author(s) and editor(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revisions and improvements, the author(s) and editor(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published.v Research justificationThis publication advances theological perspectives on the re-imagination of leadership within a post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) African context. Since the effects of COVID-19 are felt on various levels of society, which includes the believing community, a need was identified to provide guidance to leaders on various levels. However, the need for moral, ethical leadership in Africa could be identified even before the pandemic. In many respects, COVID-19 merely enhanced the inherent leadership crisis in Africa. While there are existing publications on the theological understanding of leadership, this book specifically focuses on addressing leadership in this unique time and space. The book consists of eleven chapters, in which the first five chapters provide bibliological perspectives on leadership (one from the Old Testament and four from the New Testament). Chapters 6 and 7 offer practical theological perspectives, Chapters 8 and 9 missiological perspectives and Chapter 10 an ethical perspective. Chapter 11 consists of a summative reflection and synthesis of the various contributions.Contributions in this book are based on original research, each from the field of expertise of each researcher. While the bibliological perspectives provide detail on the character and foundation of biblical leadership, the practical theological and missiological contributions mostly address the desired outcomes of moral and ethical leadership. An ethical perspective on leadership further argues the ethical and moral underpinnings of virtuous leadership. The main thesis of the book is that leadership in Africa should be selfless, just and fair, based on Jesus' example, flowing from a conversion experience and animated by the indwelling Christ, leading to spiritual maturity and, eventually, hope, transformation and emotional restoration.Methodologically, the work can be described as multidisciplinary, drawin...

“…Those owning companies directly benefiting from a pandemic (eg, drugs and online sales) or with the financial means to speculate more broadly (eg, in equity markets, derivatives, real estate) saw their wealth increase substantially. 30 At the same time millions of people around the world struggle for the prerequisites for healthy living. A small progressive tax (eg, 2%) on wealth could be used to improve access to health services, quality education, social security, and better work conditions for those with fewer resources.…”

“…This had a mixed effect: although the support maintained most people’s prepandemic income, it created “cheap money” for banks and investors in a liberalised and under-regulated financial system.
