Christian History Magazine on Christianity and Theatre


The latest issue of Christian History Magazine is devoted to ‘Christianity and Theater’.


From the blurb:


‘What does a Christian relationship with theater look like? Throughout the years, Christians have approached this question in numerous ways. Some in the early church, like Tertullian, rejected theater, identifying anti-Christian and idolatrous roots that made participation a problem. But others embraced theater, redeemed it, and created it.


‘Learn more about not only the most famous playwrights, but also about the abbesses, noblewomen, Mexican and African American dramatists, and contemporary actors who have brought the greatest Story ever told to new audiences through theater. Join us in this issue of Christian History as we explore the relationship between Christianity and theater, from critique to creative participation, starting in the early church and into the twentieth century.’


The whole magazine is available as a 11.9 MB pdf here.
