What does it mean, as a person of faith, to maintain and even strengthen one's physical body? What does it mean to "glorify God in your body" (1 Corinthians 6:20) in a time when bodily perfection is popularly defined by advertising firms, while food degradation has led to the worldwide obesity epidemic? This work addresses those questions and many others through theological engagement with fitness and sport, offering a critical examination of the two and their theological intersections. Where is God in sport and fitness? What value might sport and fitness have for the Christian Church? Is there a good to be found?

This book examines evangelical dieting and fitness programs and provides a systematic approach of this diverse field with its wide variety of programs. When evangelical Christians engage in fitness and dieting classes in order to “glorify God,” they often face skepticism. This book approaches devotional fitness culture in North America from a religious studies perspective, outlining the basic structures, ideas, and practices of the field. Starting with the historical backgrounds of this current, the book approaches both practice and ideology, highlighting how devotional fitness programs construe their identity in the face of various competing offers in religious and non-religious sectors of society. The book suggests a nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between sports and religion, beyond ‘simple’ functional equivalency. It provides insights into the formation of secular and religious body ideals and the way these body ideals are sacralized in the frame of an evangelical worldview.

Everything we need to sustain health and wellness has been provided for us through nature since the beginning. Today's health crisis is not the fault of the individual but is a manifestation of our community forgetting our blessings of real, whole, and natural foods and simple, life-giving fresh water and, of course, exercise. Exercise is the magic pill, a fountain of youth, an antidepressant. The body is improved, in every way, by movement. By design, the body was intended to move and move a lot. With this awareness, we can see that our efforts made towards personal fitness can become a true spiritual discipline. When we learn to care for ourselves and to better care for others, we simplify and intensify our quest towards personal fitness. This is the spiritual journey of Faith and Fitness.
