Book Overview

Jephthah and His Daughter: A Dramatic Cantata in Three Acts is a play written by Phineas G. Hull in 1911. The play is based on the biblical story of Jephthah, a judge of Israel who made a vow to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house if he was victorious in battle. Unfortunately, his daughter was the first to greet him upon his return. The play is divided into three acts and is written in a cantata style, with musical accompaniment and choral interludes. It explores themes of sacrifice, faith, and redemption, as well as the consequences of making rash vows.
