There has been a dramatic increase in academic research activity
and practical initiatives on the topic of sports and Christianity,
and its cultural significance during the past decade. The Faculty
of Health and Life Sciences at York St John University, York, UK,
hosted the Inaugural Global Congress on Sports and Christianity
(IGCSC), 24-28th August 2016 in collaboration with the Bible
Society at which there were 180 delegates from 22 countries in
attendance. For the area of sports studies/the social scientific
study of sport, there was a thematic strand at the congress titled
'Christian sociological perspectives on sport' from which a special
edition of the journal Sport in Society partially emanated. This
book is based upon this journal special edition. The papers
selected for inclusion in the special edition were purposely
eclectic in order to demonstrate the diversity of current research
occurring in the area of Christianity and social scientific
perspectives on sport. The goal was to bridge divisions between
various social science disciplines and theology or religious
studies, through varied, novel and interesting explorations of
sport in its various forms. We hope this collection inspires
further studies into this area. The chapters in this book were
originally published in a special issue in Sport in Society.
