Summary
Natural disasters provoke perennial questions regarding theodicy or the problem of the finiteness of life. This article shows that these questions were raised already two thousand years ago. It discusses a series of coping strategies which were developed by Christians and non-Christians and asks to what extent these answers are relevant in modern crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
