I must begin with some of the author’s closing words: ‘We are nowhere near speaking the final word on the subject. Instead, we are hopefully igniting a debate, encouraging Christians to think through the question of sport in the light of the good news of Jesus Christ’ (p.113).
Amen. As a recreational sailor with some sporty siblings, and a passing acquaintance with the invaluable ministry of Christians in Sport, I was eager to get my hands on Lincoln Harvey’s A Brief Theology of Sport. This is a very helpful little book that opens up an often ignored conversation to interested readers.
