This book discusses violence and its connection with religion,
sport and popular culture. It highlights the religious dimensions
of violence and the role of violence in the religion and culture of
the American South. Extending into popular culture, it then makes
the case that sport-particularly American football-is a cultural
phenomenon in the South with close ties with religion and violence,
and that American football has come to play a central role in the
civil religion of the South, fueled in part by its violent nature.
The book concludes by drawing important lessons from this case
study-lessons that help us to see both religion and sport in a new
light.
