The Man Born to Be King: Wade Annotated Edition

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, 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 are one of Sayers's most beloved works. This new annotated edition brings fresh insights to the plays, their background, Sayers's creative process, and the ongoing significance of the life of Christ today. 420 pages softcover.
