The Fit Shall Inherit the Earth : A Theology of Sport and Fitness

What does it mean, as a person of faith, to maintain and even strengthen one's physical body? What does it mean to ""glorify God in your body"" (1 Corinthians 6:20) in a time when bodily perfection is popularly defined by advertising firms, while food degradation has led to the worldwide obesity epidemic? This work addresses those questions and many others through theological engagement with fitness and sport, offering a critical examination of the two and their theological intersections.
