I got this as a gift. Being raised in a Catholic family and having majority of my education under Catholic administration, I thought that I've already had my fair share of the Gospels. But, despite my apprehension, I've decided to read the "Five Plays From the Gospels". In the beginning, I felt the book was being presented in a traditional and formal manner; in which characters were always addressed by their first names when spoken to. I was a bit turned off by this. But, then again, the Catholic girl in me decided to push through reading the book until the end. Needless to say, I made the right choice.The message of the Five Plays is beyond the book's title or the manner it was written. Upon continuous reading, I found the story of Jesus' much more interesting. In fact, anyone not familiar with the Gospels might be persuaded to learn more about the story of Jesus. Credit this to the trivial facts mentioned by the narrator.In my opinion the message of the Five Plays from the Gospels is:Our souls are saved because of God's unconditional love for us. We are not our bodies. We are our souls. And because of God's undying love, our souls are made eternal.
