ReviewsIn 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.
