This comprehensive volume explores the interface between sport and
religion, or more broadly, sport and spirituality. While most of
the contributions come from Western and Christian traditions, the
volume raises broader questions about the kinds of impact that
spirituality can and should have on sport, and equally, that sport
can and should have on spirituality. The authors put forth an
anti-dualistic message, one that argues against any vision of sport
and religion existing in separate domains. Mind interpenetrates
body, faith and love interpenetrate competition, spirituality and
the Divine can interpenetrate secular games. This positive book has
powerful implications for reforming contemporary sport,
particularly crass, extrinsically-driven, win-at-all-cost versions
of competition. It is a book about the incarnation, the paradoxical
existence of the spirit in the flesh, love in competition, the
myth-making power and meaning of games to engage the world,
transcendent hope found in kicking a ball around, and how sport as
a liturgy can mediate divine presence. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Sport, Ethics and
Philosophy.
