Lost: A Search for Meaning introduces readers to the Emmy Award-winning television series Lost and discusses the theological topics the series suggests. Whether you watch Lost every week or have just been intrigued by friends' discussion of the mysterious show, Christian Piatt's comments about the show and its connections to church history and spiritual themes will spark your own reflections on the meaning of life, community, free will, destiny, and more. It helps readers engage the many layers of meaning in the symbols and topics that the series presents.
I've authored and edited several books, mostly in the areas of faith and culture, young adult spirituality and emerging church. My newest book, due out in February 2011, is BANNED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE. Book two in the series, called BANNED QUESTIONS ABOUT JESUS, will be published in June 2011, and my humorous memoir on faith, pregnancy and parenting called PULLING THE GOALIE is due out in early 2012.
I'm series co-editor for a series of books with Chalice Press known as the WTF? (Where's the Faith) Series, which are aimed at the interests and faith of young adults. The first book, OH GOD, OH GOD, OH GOD!, looks at faith an sexuality, and SPLIT TICKET is the second book in the series (co-edited by me, Brandon Gilvin and Amy Gopp), which talks about the intersections of faith and politics.
I co-authored a book on young adult spirituality with my wife, Amy Piatt, called MYSPACE TO SACRED SPACE, and my first book, LOST: A SEARCH FOR MEANING is about the theological symbols and underlying themes in the hit TV show, LOST.
I speak nationally about diversity and justice issues in the church and our communities, young adult faith, emerging church and faith & technology. for more about me, my books, blog, podcast and videos, check out www.christianpiatt.com.
