Synopsis

What can zombies teach us about the gospel? The hit show The Walking Dead is set in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by mindless zombies. The characters have one goal: survive at all costs. At first glance there doesn't seem to be much the show can teach us about God or ourselves. Or is there? Author and speaker Danielle Strickland didn't expect to be drawn to a show about zombies, but she was surprised by the spiritual themes the show considers. In The Zombie Gospel she explores the ways that The Walking Dead can help us think about survival, community, consumerism, social justice, and the resurrection life of Jesus. After all, in the gospel God raises up a new humanity?a humanity resuscitated and reanimated by the new life of the Holy Spirit. Fans of the show will resonate with the book's exploration of spiritual themes, and can follow along with the episode discussion guide included within. And even if you haven't yet encountered The Walking Dead, you may be surprised to find another, greater story within the show's story.

Goodreads review by Roy on April 10, 2023

This book is right up my street: I am a The Walking Dead TV show fan of the first hour, and have followed and loved this show all down to its finale. I believe in the gospel of the bible, and see endless references to that truth in all kinds of stories. I don't have to look for them, they just jump......more

Goodreads review by Zellian on May 27, 2024

There seemed to be more references to world events than references to The Walking Dead, the author seems to pick out bits and pieces and give a super quick overview of the season and certain characters. If you're expecting indepth comparisons on Christianity and The Walking Dead you won't see it in......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on January 02, 2019

I’ve just finished reading a short book that I didn’t quite expect to enjoy, but that I will now be recommending and commending widely. The Walking Dead (Henceforth TWD) is a cultural phenomenon – massively watched, talked about and discussed, and tapping into something primal and painful and oh so......more
