The Man Born to be King:
Wade Annotated Edition Paperback – January 24, 2023
by Dorothy
L. Sayers (Author, Editor), Kathryn
Wehr (Author,
Editor)
From December 1941 until
October 1942, the BBC broadcast a series of radio dramas written by Dorothy L.
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. - Amazon.
