Summary

The modern world is dominated by sport. The Olympics and the World Cup are seen by billions of television viewers from around the globe. In response to the call of popes and the Second Vatican Council to read the signs of the times, Sport and Christianity explores the connections between these two seemingly disparate phenomena. It reflects on what the fascination for sport reveals about the human person and to what degree sporting activities are compatible with, and can even advance, the churchÆs mission.
