Some might call these people viewers, but youdon't just watch Lost-you participate in it. It demands that you dialogue with the story, seeking theories, discussingwith friends, and comparing yourself to the characters.

Lost has broken all the formulas for television, and in doing so has drawn together millions of people on a sharedjourney that explores life, faith, history, science, philosophy, hope, and the basic questions of what it means tobe human. It's the seemingly infinite ideas, philosophies, and biblical metaphors that draw us in and leave uswanting more.

The Gospel According to Lost explores each of these elements in an analysis of faith and metaphor-a perfectresource for those who want to go even deeper into the journey.

• The dichotomy between fatalism and fate, and what the Bible advises;
• How being lost-on an island or in society-presents an opportunity for reinvention thatliberates some and paralyzes others.
