Religious Drama (January 26, 1947 – December 30, 1956)

The Greatest Story Ever Told is a religious dramatization about the life and times of Christ. It is "the greatest story ever told from the greatest life ever lived, and includes a 16-voice chorus and full orchestra. The stories chosen were ssimplistic and popular. It was the first show to star Jesus Christ, and have him as a continuing character. So the directors decided to have Warren Parker play the part of Jesus in anonymity, with no casting credits. They also decided that there were to be no photographs of the performers, no studio audience, and no commercials. Guided by an interdenominational advisory board, this timeless show was very popular in its day and well remembered by many.

This program had the potential to be either cloying or too "Hollywoodized" but is neither. Very fine acting with scripts that add insight to each scripture and episode. A very fine supplement to scripture reading and a vaguely King James Version sound to the dialogue adds to the authenticity. Highly recommended! Peter

I was looking for an OTR show that was more "devotional" in nature that I could listen to on my drive to church on Sunday mornings, and "The Greatest Story Ever Told" was recommended to me. While not always the greatest audio quality, I've greatly enjoyed this series. It helps prepare my heart for worship during the drive and causes me to look at some familiar Gospel passages with fresh eyes and new insight. Thank you for offering it!
