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'
