{"product_id":"9781592408641","title":"Baseball as a Road to God","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBaseball as a Road to God\u003c\/i\u003e is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStructured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, \u003ci\u003eBaseball as Road to God\u003c\/i\u003e will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.","brand":"John Sexton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45895479361748,"sku":"9781592408641","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3fcc7321-1326-44b2-aedd-caabbea35af1.jpg?v=1728378379","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781592408641","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
