Sports: Book: Anthology of 20 chapters for sports in a Christian college setting

I found it on an accidental blog, Steve Bishop's companion to his All of Life Redeemed webs+t, a great resource for reformational thawt, societal service, and faith discourse.

    Thanks to the editors, authors and contributors. Thanks to Steve Bishop for documenting this book in his AoLR archive. And thanks to Sportikos for maintaining refWr+t's blog-entries on sports of all sorts. The horizon of the book is the small Christian college, not the bohemoth institutions and wealthy sports programs that dominate the National Collegiate Athletics Association. Yet, it coud be useful to the fellowships of Christian athletes even those in the belly of the beastie.
