The Onstage Christ: Studies in the Persistence of a Theme

By John Ditsky

Ditsky closely examines thirteen modern plays to elaborate patterns of "Christ-presence" as sacrificial victim, teacher, redeemer, benefactor, or martyr in a study ranging in time from Isben's The Wild Duck to Albee's The Zoo Story and Arden's Sergeant Musgrave's Dance.
