In this lucid and entertaining book, Max Harris argues that both biblical and dramatic texts should be approached with a theatrical imagination. He offers fresh scholarly insights into plays and theatrical theory across the centuries; at the same time, he vividly renders the comic potential of the Gospel narrative. This book moves provocatively and mischievously between the flesh-and-blood world of the theater and the Word became flesh in Jesus of Nazareth. Comprising both a fresh theatrical approach to reading the Bible and a rare Christian engagement with theater, this book is as suited for pastors' studies as for courses in theater and literature.
