While the relationship between sport and religion is deeply rooted
in history, it continues to play a profound role in shaping
modern-day societies. This edited collection provides an
inter-disciplinary exploration of this relationship from a global
perspective, making a major contribution to the religious, social
scientific and theological study of sport. It discusses the
dialectical interplay between sport and Christianity across diverse
cultures, extending beyond a Western perspective to include studies
from Africa, South America and Asia, as well as Europe, the UK and
the US. Containing contributions from leading experts within the
field, it reflects on key topics including race, gender,
spirituality, morality, interfaith sport clubs, and the
significance of sport in public rituals of celebration and
mourning. Its chapters also examine violent sports such as boxing
and mixed martial arts, as well as reflecting on the cult of
sporting celebrity and the theology of disability sport. Truly
international in scope, Global Perspectives on Sports and
Christianity is fascinating reading for all those interested in the
study of sport, sociology and religion.
