Abstract	"Many people are passionate about sports, yet few give much thought to its role and importance in their lives -- let alone its relationship to their faith. This book explores the potential of sports and challenges readers to consider how it relates to their deepest passions, behaviours and actions. Written in an accessible and stimulating way, this edited collection provides newcomers to the field with a framework around which to think seriously about the way in which sports participation and faith-based values connect. Featuring academic writers from a range of disciplinary fields, i.e. philosophy, theology, sports studies, and education, the book facilitates a deeper examination of the meaning of sports and play for Christians as participants and as practitioners.
