This book explores the deeper meaning of sports. Drawing on
contemporary research, the author makes a strong case for why we
should see sport not only in terms of religion but--more
importantly-as a possible location for spiritual meaning. Taking
this a step farther, she considers how gene editing, robotics, and
other biomedical technological enhancements affect not only sports
performances but experiences of sport as sacred. In addition, the
author explores what difference it might make to the enhancement
debate if sports' spirituality is taken seriously. The author is
not afraid to explore the issue in all its complexity. Yet, the
argument she presents is both meaningful and accessible. This
investigation applies insights from Christian theology, applied
ethics, psychology, and sports studies. From lightweight tennis
racquets to anabolic steroids, athletes have long used technology
and science to improve their performances. But, until now, no one
has asked how biomedical technological enhancements might affect
the undervalued spiritual dimension of sport. This book presents
rich insights into the connection between sports, spirituality, and
human enhancement technologies. It will appeal to researchers,
athletes and sports followers, and undergraduate and graduate
students in ethics, sport, religion or theology.
