Synopsis

The ambitious radio series, The Greatest Story Ever Told— based on the book of the same name by Fulton Oursler— came to ABC for Goodyear Tires in the 1940s. With a full orchestra and 16-voice chorus, the series dramatized the life and times of Jesus Christ— "the greatest life ever lived." It was the first radio series to simulate the voice of Christ as a continuing character. The stories quite effectively captured the essence of Oursler's book— a beautifully simple dramatization of Christ's life as set down by four apostles. Captivating audiences around the country, the show aired every Sunday evening for a decade, and this Easter-themed audio edition features three full-cast dramatizations from the program: • " The Betrayal" • "The Crucifixion" • "The Resurrection"

The types of housing, the food they ate, their modes of t......more

It took me 50 years to savor this biography but I really did enjoy it! It was my Lenten reading every year and I would read a bit, then put it away for a year. So I always looked forward to Lent and resuming this enthralling and well written biography. It was a kind of lectio divina in that your rea......more

Goodreads review by Joanna on January 01, 2009

I wanted very much to read about Jesus' life in a story format such as this. It took me a while to find it, but this book enables me to envision his life and even put myself there as an observer. It definitely helped me to be a better disciple.......more
