Sports and Christianity
By:Nick J. Watson,Andrew Parker
Published on 2012-10-16 by Routledge
This interdisciplinary text examines the sports-Christianity interface from Protestant and Catholic perspectives. In addition to a |systematic review of literature,| field-pioneering contributors such as Michael Novak, Shirl Hoffman, Joseph Price and Robert Higgs address a wide range of topics from the sporting world, including biblical athletic metaphors, disability, evangelism, professionalism and celebrity, humility and pride, genetic enhancement technologies, stereotypes, sport as art and British and American historical analyses of sport and Christianity. Insightful chapters from Scott Kretchmar, one of the world's leading philosophers of sport, and Father Kevin Lixey, the head of the Vatican's 'Church and Sport' office (2004-), add further depth and breadth to this book, making it accessible and interesting to academic and practitioner audiences alike. Within the context of this relatively new and rapidly expanding area of inquiry, this collection provides a unique and important addition to the current literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and serves as a point of reference for scholars of theology and religious studies, psychology, health studies, ethics and sports studies. The book may also be of interest to physical educators and sports coaches who wish to adopt a more |holistic| and ethical approach to their work. As modern sport is often intertwined with commercial and political agendas, this book offers an important corrective to the |win-at-all-costs| culture of modern sport, which cannot be fully understood through secular ethical inquiry.
