    A serious attempt to make sense of the universal impulse to play and watch sport. The book definitely makes good points but I found it lacking in scope and a bit simplistic. The topic is much bigger than this treatment will allow. It also tries to to reach both specialist theologian and lay reader; an impossible task and sometimes the theologizing gets away from him, especially in the last half. There were a few passages that were so dense I had to read then three times. Not really for the lay reader. I also agreed with another magazine reviewer who noted that Harvey seems to paint himself into a theological corner by an overly rigid approach. The treatment is not sufficiently nuanced or broad to make the conclusions he reaches. It was still well worth a read.
