The Greatest Story Ever Told: Christmas

The ambitious radio series, The Greatest Story Ever Told— based on the book of the same name by Fulton Oursler— came to ABC in the 1940s with a full orchestra and 16-voice chorus. The series dramatized the life and times of Jesus Christ— "the greatest life ever lived"— and was the first radio series to simulate the voice of Christ as a continuing character. The stories quite effectively captured the essence of Oursler's book— a beautifully simple dramatization of Christ's life as set down by four apostles. Captivating audiences around the country, the show aired every Sunday evening for a decade, and this Christmas-themed audio edition features five full-cast dramatizations from the program:

• " And Her Name Was Mary"

• " Blessed Among Women"

• " Go and Be Counted"

• " No Room at the Inn"

• " Flight into Egypt"
