'A fresh and very important new book. By focusing on the place of the body, the authors have brilliantly managed to reveal that sport is no mere corporeal activity. It is clear that this book has been crafted in such a way as to open up further discourse and debate, and to stimulate new ways of conceiving the familiar. I have little doubt that this work will energise others to expand our understanding of sport and its relationship to religion, and help open up new insights into the broader topic of sport and spirituality. And if this can begin to influence how we do sport, how it is practiced and played in the lived world beyond academic debate and theorising, the authors will have provided us with a great and much needed service.'
