Resumen
PLATA QUEZADA, William Elvis; PLATA RODRIGUEZ, Daniela y ACEVEDO, Javier Alejandro. Covid-19 and the Christian Churches. Representations produced about the pandemic among Catholics, Protestants and Pentecostals in the Colombian context. 2020-2021. Rev. colomb. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.1, pp.195-218. Epub 03-Mayo-2024. ISSN 0120-159X. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcs.v46n1/101569.
Through digital ethnographic monitoring and the application of a survey directed at Christian churches in the department of Santander, the aim is to portray, compare, and explain the main emerging representations of the coronavirus during the first year and a half of the pandemic in the Colombian religious context. The interpretative similari-ties between currents revolved around: the pandemic as an instrument of God, human vulnerability and its dependence on the divine, the opportunity for conversion, the use of faith as resistance in the face of the crisis, and the normalization of the pandemic as another human suffering. In a second moment emerged particular reflections of several religious currents, among them: the pandemic as a product of man, the reproduction of the discourse of self-care, the questioning of scientific recommendations, the eschatologi-cal interpretations of the moment and some treatments towards the effects of the virus.
