A question arises regarding theology and its functions when trying to cope with the coronavirus pandemic. Surely Christian faith - along with other religions - can play a role in helping to deal with this crisis, both for individuals and collectively. Theology connects with the effort religious faith and Churches perform and provides models and ideas to highlight the Christian sense of what is happening, that is, in reference to a saving God. Four keys, rooted in the Christian tradition, are proposed that allow us to understand these difficult times in a meaningful way, that is, as revealing "signs of the times" for believers, assisting them in their struggle to cope with these challenging circumstances.
