The Greatest Story Ever Told
Fulton Oursler
The ambitious radio series, The Greatest Story Ever Told— based on the book of the same name by Fulton Oursler— came to ABC for Goodyear Tires 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." It 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 Easter-themed audio edition features three full-cast dramatizations from the program:
• “ The Betrayal"
• "The Crucifixion"
• "The Resurrection"
