Exploring the intersection of modern sport and religion, Robert Ellis analyzes how contemporary athletics, particularly in British and American contexts, may fulfill roles traditionally associated with organized religion. Through a blend of historical narrative and social analysis, he argues that sport embodies a form of worship and community. By incorporating biblical and theological reflections, Ellis develops a practical theology that highlights sport's appeal and significance, emphasizing the concept of transcendence within this cultural phenomenon.
