Baseball as a Road to God by John Sexton
You knocked it out of the park. Playing hardball. Thrown a
curveball.
Anyone who loves baseball knows that the sport is more than
just a game, it is a perfect analogy for life. And if baseball were a religion,
John Sexton would be a modern theologian. John Sexton, the president of New
York University, gives of his thoughtful exegesis in his work Baseball as a Road to God.
This book is very straightforward. You do not need a
graduate degree in theology or profound historical baseball knowledge. Sexton
simply grabs some of the major themes found on the baseball diamond and
connects them to religion’s greatest teachings.
It is a wonderful, quick read that I highly recommend. This book
could not have been more perfect for me. It is a book about baseball and
religion written by a university president.
