Raises the curtain on the theatre of the Western world to show how a constant Christian source has been at work filling the ever-changing dramatic forms. Christianity has a proper and important place as a theme in the Occidental theatre. Indeed, the infusion of Christian values in the theatre transcends all other influences. In one way or another, the Christian influence exists on the stage of every era and every nation involved in the Western tradition.
