Summary
To most spectators, the games are all about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. However, in "Racing Towards Perdition: The Questionable Spiritual Foundation Of The Contemporary Olympiad", social theorist and cultural analyst Dr. Frederick Meekins examines a number of the ideas embraced by the influential elites organizing these prominent athletic spectacles and the worldview those pulling the strings behind the scenes at such global venues hope to promote. It is not the intention of Dr. Meekins to discourage the discerning from viewing these festivities but rather to equip the concerned so that they might be better able to detect that which is often hidden in plain view. Frederick Meekins is a worldview analyst and Internet columnist. He holds a BS from the University of Maryland in Political Science/History and a MA in Apologetics & Christian Philosophy from Trinity Theological Seminary. Frederick holds a Doctor of Practical Theology through the Master's Graduate School Of Divinity in Evansville, Indiana. Dr. Meekins is pursuing a Ph.D. in Apologetics through Newburgh Theological Seminary. His research interests include Worldview Application, Christian Apologetics, The Implications of Aberrant Theologies & Ideologies, Futurology, Eschatology, Science Fiction, Terrorism Studies, Environmentalism, Education Policy and America's Judeo-Christian Foundations. Dr. Meekins is also an ordained Non-Denominational Minister and listed in "Who's Who In America" and in "Who's Who Of Emerging Leaders".
