Product Description
Sport has a huge following in modern society, events on and off the field generating intense emotional excitement all round. Borrowing the language of religion, the media hyping of sport holds up its stadiums as cathedrals, its stars as saviors and icons, and heralds its successes as redemption. The general loss of a sense of the sacred leads to the question of whether sport is now becoming a substitute for spirituality. Saving Sport explores key questions about the experience of sport, and its expression by the media, in the conversation between church and society on faith and culture.
