God in the Stadium-Pa

Very in depth commentary on the historical, social relationship of sports and religion, particularly in the South. Almost of equal importance in this work is the inseparable bond of both to the military.This book is not for the casual reader. The subject is covered in depth and the author philosophizes in great depth through very weighty questions.While one may not agree with every statement, I'm certain the author does not either, but rather wishes for the reader to think hard about perspectives and cultural realities that we often follow blindly or just take for granted.He definitely succeeds in doing this. Most will be angered and nearly driven to arms while reading, but will come away with a greater understanding of the the profound influence of these great phenomena in American Culture.
