The Symbolism of 'Lost'

August 22, 2009

AFTER SOME thoughts on the vote by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America to allow openly gay non-celibate pastors, we spent most of the hour exploring the spiritual symbolism in the ABC series Lost.


The show is far more than just a well-crafted dramatic series with strong sci fi/supernatural overtones, it’s rich with symbolism that relates to the spiritual war between good and evil. While we do not ascribe any Christian theology to the show, the themes mined by the writers run deeper than one finds in most television programming.

It’s March 30, 2006, or 3/3/06 (a 33 plus a hidden 3+3) — but don’t worry, we didn’t go there. We talked a bit about the news and finished up our interview with the investigators of New England Anomalies Research, Keith Johnson, Sandra Johnson, and Chris Finch. We talked about their upcoming Ghost Hunting 101 classes — and wrapped up with an audio clip of a woman possessed by a demon, recorded during an exorcism performed by Keith.
