Synopsis

Although the last few decades have witnessed a tremendous growth in the field of leisure studies and research, there is a relative paucity of Christian reflection on leisure. This proven volume of collected essays seeks to turn that shortfall around by addressing the following topics: Biblical and Historical Perspectives; Methodological Issues; Present Practices and Challenges in Leisure; Play, Sport, and Athletics; and Leisure and Culture. Christianity and Leisure: Issues in a Pluralistic Society provides sound insights that will help North American Christians face the challenge of living a life that is consistent with the Christian faith.
