Sports, Religion and Disability

This ground-breaking book provides a fascinating insight into the relationship between sports (and leisure), religion and disability in both elite sport and recreation and leisure contexts. In the shadow of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games, at which athletes that were both able-bodied and disabled, provided an extravaganza of sporting excellence and drama, this text is a timely and important synthesis of ideas that have emerged in two previously distinct areas of research: (i) ‘disability sport and leisure’ and (ii) the ‘theology of disability’._x000D_ This book was published as two special issues of the Journal of Religion, Disability and Health.
