Vi er opflasket med den forestilling, at idræt og religion hører til i hvert sit rum, men frem for at betragte idræt og religion som tilhørende hver sin livssfære, fokuserer Ove Korsgaaard på samspillet og modspillet mellem dem og med det omgivne samfund og belyser dynamikken mellem kropskultur og religion i tre udvalgte historiske epoker: antikken, tidlig moderne tid og moderne tid. Kristendommens historie er nemlig vævet uløseligt sammen med kropskulturens historie.

Rodeo is a dangerous and painful performance in which only the strongest and most skilled riders succeed. In the popular imagination, the western rodeo hero is often a stoic white man who embodies the toughness and independence of America’s frontier past. However, marginalized people have starred in rodeos since the very beginning. Cast out of popular western mythology and pushed to the fringes in everyday life, these cowboys and cowgirls found belonging and meaning at the rodeo, staking a claim to national inclusion.
