Sayers. Against the backdrop of World War II, the plays presented twelve episodes in the life and ministry of Jesus, from the visit of the magi to his death and resurrection, collectively affirming the kingship of Christ. Noted for their use of colloquial English as part of Sayers's effort to bring the Gospels to life in a new way for listeners, the plays were both controversial and incredibly successful, bolstering the morale of the country during the war. They were subsequently published in 1943, and they stand among Sayers's most beloved works to this day. In this new critical and annotated edition, scholar Kathryn Wehr brings fresh insights to the plays, their background, Sayers's creative process, and the ongoing significance of the life of Christ today. Listen again, or for the first time, to the story of the man who was born to be--and still is--king. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and indexes. 505 0 $a Play 1: kings in Judea -- Play 2: the king's herald -- Play 3: a certain nobleman -- Play 4: the heirs to the kingdom -- Play 5: the bread of heaven -- Play 6: the feast of tabernacles -- Play 7: the light and the life -- Play 8: royal progress -- Play 9: the king's supper -- Play 10: the princes of this world -- Play 11: king of sorrows -- Play 12: the king comes to his own 600 00 $a Jesus Christ $v Drama. 600 10 $a Sayers, Dorothy L. $q (Dorothy Leigh), $d 1893-1957. $t Man born to be king $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 07 $a Jesus Christ. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040116 650 0 $a Bible plays, English. 650 0 $a Radio plays, English. 650 7 $a Bible plays, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831253 650 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897468 650 7 $a Radio plays, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01087459 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Radio plays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Religious drama. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sayers, Dorothy L.
