Victory?

Professional Sports

 

The endless carnival of those sports constitutes a dramatic affirmation of power,

wealth and virility in which victory is accomplished by many abusive exploitations,

all in pursuit of winning and being top of the heap of the money game.

 

Walter Brueggemann (1933- ), Sabbath Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now, Westminster, John Knox Press, 2014, pp. 15-16.

Notes from the Compiler

Walter Brueggemann is an American Biblical scholar and theologian who writes like an Old Testament prophet. He is widely considered one of the most influential interpreters of the Scriptures in the last several decades. His work often focuses on the Hebrew prophetic tradition, and he speaks sharply to our contemporary socio-political imagination of the Church.
