    This is an amazing, beautiful
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2015*

This is an amazing, beautiful, deep, heart-rending, uplifting work, based completely on the Bible but with a bit of dramatic license in order to present the life of Christ in the format of a radio play. Every page brings new insights into events which are almost overly familiar to me. I would love to see it performed by, say, a youth group or speech-and-debate club. I was already a huge fan of Dorothy Sayers from some of her other books, and I regret waiting so long to read this work. I have been buying copies for many of my friends who I know would enjoy it as much as I do. FYI: the original BBC broadcasts of this play from the 1940s can be found online, and I am enjoying listening to them as I read the text. [Update: these are not currently available, but several churches in both the UK and USA have performed these plays in the last few years, and some have posted their recordings online. I don't know if we can put links in reviews, but look for, for example, St Michael's Church in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, UK – they performed the last 5 plays during Holy Week 2012 and have done us all a wonderful favor by posting their recordings on their church website.]I am more than halfway through this book, and unfortunately there are some truly awful typos, the result (I assume) of the text having been scanned; for example, in the list of characters for the first play, Herod's name is given as "Heard," and elsewhere "carriage" becomes "carnage." The book should have been proofread before publication! I will be sending the publishers a list of errata as soon as I am done. I *am* grateful to Classical Academic Press for bringing this work back into print, and with such a beautiful cover; I hope they will incorporate the corrections into a new edition soon.UPDATE 18 Feb. (Ash Wednesday): Yes! Rob at CAP (see the comments on the reviews) asked for my list of errata, and says there may be a new edition as early as next month! Kudos to CAP for their commitment to excellence, and to the integrity of this work.

I wish I could give this book 8 stars. First of all, the quality of the used hardcover book was as described (very good condition); the content beyond compare. It was originally written as a series of 11 (radio) plays for the BBC during WWII, and stands the test of time. It humanizes Jesus and those around Him in the best possible way, with some wonderful little British idioms as a bonus (Matthew is Cockney!). I cannot recommend highly enough "The Man Born to be King."

Dorothy Sayers was a contemporary of C. S. Lewis. They belonged to a very small group of writers at Oxford who read their works in progress to each other, asking for ideas.  She is well known for her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries.  In the case of this book, it was written as a series to be run on the radio in England.  The story of Jesus, the Son of God, is told by means of conversations between Jesus, among his followers, and with members of the public.  It is easy reading, no descriptions except those at the beginning of each chapter describing the nature of each character who will be heard in that chapter.  You can read those or give them a pass.  Her books are usually very wordy, could have done with some judicious cutting.  This radio drama moves quickly.  You know the story and how it ends, but I found it interesting to feel like I was with His followers, listening in on all the conversations.
