Muscular Christianity is a term applied to a religious movement that originated in England in the mid-19th century, with an approach to life and social outreach which emphasizes the benefits of sport and other physical exercise to personal wellbeing, and as a healthy expression of masculinity. In Erecting the Pulpit: Muscular Christianity from Teddy Roosevelt to Donald Trump (Bloomsbury), Amy Laura Hall tours the US looking for contemporary manifestations of Muscular Christianity, and according to our reviewer Brian Hillman they are found in religion rather than sports; however, Hall’s Gonzo journalism makes for a highly readable account of her mission.
