The Meaning of the Zombie Apocalypse
Ian and I discuss Vervaeke et. al.’s writing on the symbol of the zombie apocalypse. They show that our use of “apocalypse” is a telling transformation of the original Christian one. The modern, secular apocalypse gradually lost vestiges of its Christian roots, and it and the zombie found each other almost magically, in an unholy marriage. Then this union broke out into the real world.
We discuss the meaning of zombies and this apocalyptic symbol. We interpret it partly as a movement within the individual soul and link it to other kinds of spiritual transformation.
