The Saving of Sports Ministry: The Soteriology of Sports Outreach - Paperback

by Linville Greg (Author)

As the Sports Outreach Movement enters its eighth decade, it has yet to produce a definitive Theology of Competition, Sport and Sports Ministry. This book: The Saving of Sports Ministry: The Soteriology of Sports Outreach, is written to fill one specific aspect of that void and vacuum.

As the fourth book in The Institutes of Sports Outreach Book Series, published by Overwhelming Victory Press, it seeks to answer such questions as:

- What do sports ministries mean when they say they "got someone saved?

- What does success mean for sports ministries?

- Is having someone pray "The Sinner's Prayer" the same as "Making Disciples"?

- Is Baptism necessary?

- How does Church membership fit into the disciple-making process?

- How do athletes integrate their sport and faith?

- Is sports ministry truly effective in reaching those far from Jesus and His Church?
