Description
Can The Walking Dead teach us about the gospel?
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.
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.
Advance Praise
"In The Zombie Gospel, Danielle Strickland does a masterful job of drawing out deep lessons on what it means to be human from the popular TV series The Walking Dead. Avoiding the pitfalls of sensationalism and overspiritualization, Danielle's treatment of the messiness of life, the consumptive nature of modern society, and the hope of the Christian message as themes emerging from this series is superb. It will make you want to watch The Walking Dead a second time so you can understand it for the first time. This is the best spiritual analysis of a television show or movie I know of."
—Ken Wytsma, founder of The Justice Conference, author of The Myth of Equality and Create vs. Copy
"Danielle Strickland takes a cultural phenomenon—The Walking Dead—and
uses its insights to shed new light on ancient biblical truth. The
result is a book that is refreshingly nonreligious and relevant—a
life-giving message for our zombie world!"
—Pete Greig, Emmaus Rd and 24-7 Prayer
