New Series For RUSC: The Greatest Story Ever Told

This religious drama tells the story of the life of Jesus and was undoubtedly ambitious for its time, having a full orchestra as well as a sixteen-voice choir.

The Greatest Story Ever Told was the first ever radio series to characterize Christ using a regular actor, Warren Parker, to play the role. Parker, however, remained anonymous for the show’s run and there were never any cast credits.

If you have ever read the Bible you are sure to recognize the stories from the four Gospels, but each one is told in a way that related to the modern day problems of the time based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. These are simple, humbling stories reinforcing morals that we can sometimes forget.

Jim, a long-standing RUSC member, speaks for many I’m sure when he wrote "...you have uploaded what I hope is the first of many Greatest Stories Ever Told. I remember them from my young days and hopefully will be able to enjoy them again".

Well, yes you will Jim, as I'll be adding a new episode every Sunday for the foreseeable future.

Happy listening my friends,
