Exploring the intersection of modern sport and religion, Robert Ellis examines how contemporary athletics have assumed roles traditionally held by organized faith. He delves into the historical and social dimensions of sports in Britain and America, arguing that they fulfill similar functions as religion. Through biblical and theological insights, Ellis articulates a practical theology that highlights the appeal and significance of sports, emphasizing the concept of transcendence as a key element of its value.
