{"product_id":"faith-and-the-zombie-simon-bacon-9781476680538","title":"Faith and the Zombie: Critical Essays on the End of the World and Beyond","description":"\u003cp\u003e Themes of faith and religion have been threaded through popular representations of the zombie so often that they now seem inextricably linked. Whether as mindless servants to a Vodou Bokor or as evidence of the impending apocalypse, the ravenous undead have long captured something of society's relationships with spirituality, religion and belief. By the start of the 21st century, religious beliefs are as varied as the many manifestations of the zombie itself, and both themes intersect with various ideological, environmental and even post-human concerns. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book surveys the various modern religious associations in zombie media. Some characters believe that the undead are part of God's plan, others theorize that the environment might be saving itself or that zombies might be predicting life and hybridity beyond human existence. Timely and important, this work is a meditation on how faith might not just be a forerunner to the apocalypse, but the catalyst to new kinds of life beyond it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Bacon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476680531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476680538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Simon Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073697149183,"sku":"9781476680538","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ed09aae-180b-4949-9d1e-4456fbf3e895.jpg?v=1685449362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faith-and-the-zombie-simon-bacon-9781476680538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
