Description
The Undead and Theology by Kim Paffenroth and John W. Morehead is a unique and thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between theology and the ever-popular genre of undead creatures—zombies, vampires, and other revenants. The book delves into how these monstrous figures serve as metaphors for profound theological and philosophical questions, including sin, redemption, the soul, and the nature of humanity. By analyzing films, literature, and pop culture phenomena, the authors and contributing scholars examine how undead narratives reflect spiritual anxieties and ethical dilemmas, often mirroring religious themes in unexpected ways. The book covers a range of topics, from Christian eschatology and the resurrection in zombie films to the moral complexities of vampirism and the nature of evil. Drawing from biblical texts, church doctrine, and theological discourse, Paffenroth and Morehead provide a scholarly yet accessible discussion that bridges horror fiction and religious inquiry. The Undead and Theology is an engaging read for theologians, horror enthusiasts, and anyone interested in how popular culture and spirituality intersect in the most unexpected places.
