Sayers.\u003c\/b\u003e Against the backdrop of World War II, the plays presented twelve episodes in the life and ministry of Jesus, from thevisit of the magi to his death and resurrection, collectively affirming the kingship of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoted for their use of colloquial English as part of Sayers's effort to bring the Gospels to life in a new way for listeners, the plays were both controversial and incredibly successful, bolstering the morale of the country during the war.
