520 |a The theological framework of radical orthodoxy has yet to be realized as useful in examining the religious significance of sport and athlete hero-icons in contemporary American popular culture.

Using these four assumptions this case study explores the religious and spiritual impact American cyclist Lance Armstrong‘s image and philanthropic activities, between 1999 and 2010, had in contemporary American popular culture.
