Zombies, Fiction, & Hope in the Resurrection

Today’s special edition of the CE Podcast features the first round-table discussion with authors and contributors Cari Donaldson and Daniel Stewart who discuss the current cultural obsession with zombies, especially the popular TV show The Walking Dead, as well as our culture’s fascination with apocalyptic literature and how these cultural phenomenons have an answer in the teachings of the Church. The discussion involves not only fiction but also Fr. Robert Barron, St. Augustine, and the hope of the Resurrection that ultimately answers the fears expressed in fictional genres.  You can download the episode, stream it here, and subscribe for what might be the most interesting discussion we’ll have this summer.
