For the Love of the Game: Toward a Spirituality of Sports
Contemporary theology has paid considerable attention to many features of our modern culture-technology, consumerism, Hollywood, television, the internet--yet surprisingly little reflection has been directed toward sports. When we Christians do consider sports our tendency is to criticize its excesses: an unhealthy sense of competition, the violence, too much emphasis on money, etc. But is there a genuine theology and spirituality of sports also worthy of our consideration? Is there something inherently religious about both playing sports and being a sports fan? This presentation explores questions such as these.
