What does Indiana Jones hold sacred?
Continuing our Religions in Fandoms series, Joshua Noel and Matthew Winter discuss how religions have been portrayed throughout the Indiana Jones franchise! We examine what it means for an object or thing to be considered "sacred", we distinguish between "mystic" and "spiritual", and look at the religious undertones and artefacts in each of the five Indiana Jones films!
.
Is Indiana Jones' dad Catholic? What is the religion in the Temple of Doom? What religion was Indiana Jones? Why are Raiders of the Lost Ark not called Indiana Jones? What is the point of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark? Why is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom controversial? What is the point of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? What is the meaning of the crystal skull in Indiana Jones? Is Dial of Destiny the last Indiana Jones? Can math, science, and philosophy be considered sacred? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Systematic Geekology
Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
