By Elma Ehrlich Levinger

Book Overview

Jephthah's Daughter: A Biblical Drama in One Act is a play written by Elma Ehrlich Levinger. 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 were victorious in battle. Unfortunately, the first thing that came out of his house was his beloved daughter. The play explores the relationship between Jephthah and his daughter, as well as the themes of sacrifice, faith, and loyalty. It is a poignant and powerful drama that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the choices we make in life.
