A Jesuit Off-Broadway


Book Description

Many of us have questions about the Bible: Can we believe the Bible? What was Jesus’ mission? What is sin? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God’s forgiveness? In A Jesuit Off-Brodway, James Martin, SJ, answers these questions about the Bible, and other big questions about life, as he serves as a theological advisor to the cast of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. Grab a front-row seat to Fr. Martin's six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company and see first-hand what it's like to share the faith with a largely secular group of people . . . and discover, along with Martin, that the sacred and the secular aren't always that far apart.

The Jesuit Theater of Jacob Masen


Book Description

In the tradition of the Jesuit school theater, Jacob Masen (1606-1681) has long had a reputation as a playwright second only to his countryman Bidermann. With no modern editions of his plays, and translations of the Latin original extremely limited, few readers have had direct access to Masen's theater. It presents in modern English three exemplary Masen plays: Androphilus, Maurice, and Rusticus imperans. A brief introduction places the plays within the context of Masen's life and century, and his theoretical writings on the theater. The book is the only English edition of Masen's plays.
