“…The emerging 'Ecclesiology and Ethnography' movement, discussed in the previous footnote, is among the most promising contemporary dialogue partners in this regard. 19 For introductions to Radical Orthodoxy, see Milbank et al (2002) and Smith (2004). 20 Though I do not address these here, Hoffstaedter (2013) usefully points to the 'structural limitations' involved in scholarly engagements with theology, a point which provokes the question as to what exactly has changed in academia to enable both the newly vibrant anthropology of Christianity and the growing attention now being given to theology.…”

The discipline of anthropology is dominated by a secular analytical approach which requires the bounding of religion and its exclusion from anthropological ways‐of‐knowing. This is premised on a historical understanding of the discipline as scientific, rational, objective and modern. While these norms are now routinely critiqued, theology remains peculiarly marginalised. This article probes the contours of an anthropology beyond the secular which involves both critical reflection on the secularity of the discipline and a willingness to experiment with new ways of doing anthropology with/in theology.

“…As a result of the decrease in traditional religious adherents, many find the spiritual and religious messages of sport and athletes powerful and attractive (Nelson 2009). In their understanding of the nature of postmodern theology, Radical Orthodoxy scholars, such as Milbank et al (1999), support notions that alternate areas of culture operate in spiritually and religiously significant ways. As such, sport has become a self-sustaining entity with diverse media outlets, becoming an organic whole that disseminates moral value.…”

Redemption of ‘Fallen’ Hero-Athletes: Lance Armstrong, Isaiah, and Doing Good while Being Bad

Lance Armstrong’s achievements in cycling will forever be overshadowed by his admittance of using unethical performance enhancing means to win. However, Armstrong’s positive social impact of raising awareness, hundreds of millions of dollars, and support for the cancer community are undeniably noteworthy. Clearly, Armstrong’s hero-savior athlete depiction in the media prior to his ‘fall’ was related to the social ‘good’ he was equally known for. This good stands in stark contrast to his demonization since. This dichotomy of Armstrong’s profiling offers a unique opportunity to consider how his rise and fall reflect biblical themes of a sport celebrity. This paper explores the theme of redemption specifically presented in the book of Isaiah, as I explore Armstrong’s media rendering as a fallen hero-athlete following his public acknowledgement of cheating. This manuscript provides a contextual comparison of Armstrong’s story to the redemption of exiled Jews as detailed in Isaiah. Throughout the paper, I present how Armstrong has received a more profound, though less obvious or common redemption through his lifetime ban from sport. Ultimately, this article provides an analysis of a contemporary hero-athletes redemption who cycled for good, while being bad.

“…Seeing his work as a more nihilistic option, they sought to refute him directly. 54 None are more relevant for our interest in the theological nature of writing than Catherine Pickstock's After Writing. In her critique she not only seeks to overturn his understanding of Plato.…”
