Sport and Christianity examines sport and Christianity from a
variety of historical perspectives, with the main focus on the
period from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. The
book is not limited to a narrow definition of Christianity, but
rather encompasses a wide range of denominations, related
philosophies and viewpoints. The contributors are international,
and the geographical range of their chapters is equally wide,
extending, for example, from China to Argentina, and from Australia
to Poland. Some chapters focus on a single sport such as
gymnastics, soccer or Australian Rules football, while others look
at modern sports more generally. Different methodological and
theoretical approaches have been adopted, as contributors enter the
debates on, for example, cultural imperialism, gender, changing
Christian attitudes to leisure, or the intersection between
religion, politics and sport. Demonstrating the many-sided
significance of the relationship between Christianity and Sport,
this book is ideal for scholars of Sport History and Christianity.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The
International Journal of the History of Sport.
