ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoffman, Shirl James, PUBLISHER: Baylor University Press, In recent years the United States has seen an influx of Christian athletes and coaches into big-time sports, as well as a heightened importance placed on sports in church programs and enormous platforms for intercollegiate sports at Christian schools and colleges.

Here, in this thoughtful, narrative-driven exploration, Hoffman retells numerous fascinating stories from the world of ancient and contemporary sports and draws on the history of the Christian tradition as he seeks to answer the question aWhat would it mean to think Christianly about sport?a
