The Walking Dead as Paradigm and Simulacrum of the Apocalypse: Toward a Pre-Apocalyptic Theological–Political Odyssey (Part I)

A legendary television series, The Walking Dead, was far more than a conventional post-apocalyptic survival narrative situated within the familiar conventions of the zombie genre.

Jesus himself was a Jew, born under the Jewish Law, formed by synagogue worship, and understood by his earliest followers as the Jewish Messiah. The very title ‘Christ’ (Messiah) has meaning only within Jewish messianic expectations, and the Christian claim about Jesus presupposes the reality of Israel’s covenantal history.
