Title: The Holy Trinity of American Sports
Description: "The Holy Trinity of American Sports explores how football, baseball, and basketball interact to illustrate civil religion in the United States. These three sports can be viewed as marking movement through one year in the country, providing extended seasons to supplement holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July." "Through stories of life, the three games convey doctrines about the source of truth, where to find knowledge of truths, and how to solve problems. Beyond doctrinal convictions, they disclose ethical beliefs of the nation for the worst, best, and most common situations."--Jacket.
