This essay in First Things is the deepest engagement I've seen so far with some of the key ideas and arguments I make in my book.

And it also extends my analysis and interpretation into new (and intriguing) areas.

Grateful. Can't ask for much more as an author.

Since we’re doing book intros…

Published last month, mine is a history of sports and Christianity in 20th century America. Really, it’s a history of American Protestantism through the lens of sports.

Endorsed by some of my favorite scholars, including Jemar Tisby, Molly Worthen, Matt Sutton, etc.

Not "if," but "when."
