Book Synopsis Sport and the Christian Religion by : Andrew Parker
Download or read book Sport and the Christian Religion written by Andrew Parker and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic and interdisciplinary analysis of the published literature and practical initiatives on the sports-Christianity interface from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives. Within the context of this relatively new and rapidly expanding area of inquiry, this text offers an original contribution to the current literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and serves as a point of reference for academics from a wide range of related fields including theology and religious studies, psychology, history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, health-religion studies, and sports studies. The book will also be of interest to sports chaplains, those involved in sports ministry organizations, physical educators and sports coaches who wish to adopt a more critical and ‘holistic’ approach to their work. As modern-day sports are often entwined with commercial and political agendas, the book also provides an important response to the ‘win-at-all-costs’ and business orientated philosophy, which characterises much of contemporary sport practice, yet which cannot always be fully understood through secular inquiry.

Download or read book Fanaticus written by Justine Gubar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Oakland Raiders in a preseason matchup that would become a seminal moment for fan violence. During the game, seventy fans were ejected from the stadium, one person was beaten unconscious in the men’s room, and two men were shot in the parking lot after the game. This is hardly an isolated incident. At any given game, fans get kicked out and arrested for acting out. In the spring of 2014 alone, soccer headlines screamed of a fan killed in Brazil, a supporter who punched a police horse in England, and three fans shot in Italy. But why do fans resort to such violence? What drives them to abandon societal norms and act out in unimaginable ways? Fanaticus: Mischief and Madness in the Modern Sports Fan explores the roots of extreme fanaticism, from organized thuggery to digital hate speech. Justine Gubar divulges outrageous and often shocking incidents, including first-hand accounts from both the transgressors and victims. Gubar reaches back into ancient times, providing a history of fan violence throughout the ages before delving into events of misbehavior, violence, and hatred in the United States and around the world. She revisits several notorious riots and tragedies throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America in order to understand mayhem on a global scale. In addition, Gubar investigates the sports leagues and the security and beverage industries so as to explain the roots of fan misbehavior and to dispel common myths that are often invoked to understand the madness. Featuring original interviews with European football hooligans, rioting college students, stadium security experts, and many others, Fanaticus provides a rare window into what drives human behavior. Together, these voices create the fullest picture of modern fan violence ever written.

Book Synopsis Peace, Justice, Care of Earth by : Robert M Weir
Download or read book Peace, Justice, Care of Earth written by Robert M Weir and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John McConnell is the founder of the original Earth Day on the vernal equinox and the creator of the Earth Flag. He also founded a United Nations NGO, the Earth Society Foundation. Born in 1915, he was a visionary well ahead of his time who devoted his life to the three-part vision of "peace, justice, and the care of Earth." He said, "Peace is not the absence of war, but an honest understanding of another person's point of view." "Justice is not an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but equal sharing of the world's resources." "Care of Earth is both a right and a responsibility of all people. And without peace through understanding and social justice, the environmental movement is a one-legged stool." John McConnell was among the few seers who helped these concepts dawn with the Age of Aquarius. He laid the foundation for later speakers of peace and social justice to advance his ideas into the human paradigm of the Third Millennium. Today, his "peace is not the absence of war" phrase is quoted by many who usually also overlook the necessary "peace through understanding" part of his message. Until now -- until this book -- John McConnell has been an unsung hero, an unspotlighted star. John's destiny was evident as a boy. Born into a family of itinerant evangelists, he traveled the entire United States, witnessed miracles, and relished diversity. Ahead of his time, he created a biomass product from waste in the 1930s, espoused cooperative space exploration between the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War, and created the Earth Flag -- "a flag that's just for people" -- as a symbol of global unity. And he conceived the original Earth Day on the spring equinox -- not April 22 -- just as Americans were beginning to wake up to pollution's dire impact. Into his 90s, John persisted in his cause through telephone and Internet communications, trusting in prayer that people would "come together where they agree while leaving room for their differences" in order to "continue the human adventure on Earth, our nest in the stars, with its wonderful web of life." He passed from this life in the company of his family on 20 October 2012 at the age of 97. Robert M. Weir is writer and speaker who focuses on people, peace, social justice, environment, and travel. As a book editor and coach for emerging and established authors, he is among and a contributor to humanity's spiritual and metaphysical leaders. Contact through robertmweir.com
