Zombie Apocalypse and the Reviving: A Reflection on Ephesians 2:1-10 A few years ago, I was teaching Romeo and Juliet to a 9th-grade English class. To give our unit some contemporary relevance, I assigned my students a choice of ancillary texts, including young-adult adaptations of Shakespeare’s 400-year-old classic. Of these spins, the most unique was Warm Bodies* by Isaac Marion. The book is narrated by R, a zombie who falls in love with a human named Julie.
