In the published article, Venter, R., 2021, ‘Theology, philosophy of biology and virology: An interdisciplinary conversation in the time of COVID-19’, Verbum et Ecclesia 42(2), a2354. https://doi.org/10.4102/ve.v42i2.2354, on page 1 the following paragraph is updated as it was incorrectly formulated:

The original incorrect wording:

Two events have prompted this research: the pandemic and the celebration of the theologian Wentzel van Huyssteen’s eighteenth birthday. Like no other scholar from South Africa he raised consciousness about the faith-science dialogue, and his intellectual accomplishments on the nature of rationality and the need for interdisciplinarity earned him well-deserved international recognition. With this enquiry about COVID-19, science and theology, and interdisciplinary, I would like to convey my own scholarly gratitude to him. By embracing his concerns and applying them to new exigencies, we express the enduring significance of his academic work.

The revised and updated wording:
