“Remembering we are playthings”: sport in theological perspective
Lincoln Harvey
; St Mellitus College, London
Abstract
Drawing primarily from the doctrine of creation ex nihilo, we will first identify the contingent nature of the creature, arguing that we are best understood as ‘playthings’, who are called to a Sabbathshaped life of work and worship. Then, by analysing the nature of competitive sport, we will see that sport is best understood as a liturgical celebration which punctuates our lives as a reminder of our non-serious nature.
