Excerpt from The Sin of Ahab: A Drama in One Act

Can religious drama be a means of bringing religion and high idealism into world affairs at the present time of unrest? The Drama League of America asked this question at the close of the World War when great interest was evidenced in spiritual things, realizing the power of the dramatic instinct, the appeal of biblical truths and the wealth of dramatic material contained in the Bible.

A religious drama committee was called by the league to discuss the subject in the broadest use of the term, the aim being to use drama in teaching Bible truths and plays dealing with ethical material. Investigation revealed the lack of good religious plays. To arouse interest in the subject and to secure suitable material the league held a religious drama prize competition. The result was satisfactory - valuable material was gained. Selected plays from this competition arc to appear in a Drama League Series, "The Sin of Ahab," the title of this volume being one of the series. Churches and church boards adopted the league's idea of utilizing drama in church work - or reviving drama which had its origin in the church - as the plan afforded wonderful opportunity to use the young life of the church.

"The Sin of Ahab" is a biblical drama in one act. The characters who take speaking parts are Ahab king of Israel, Jezebel his wife, Jonas a boy of seventeen, Obadiah the head of Ahab's household, Naboth a native of Jezreel and Elijah the prophet. The scene is laid in Samaria.

The play throughout has biblical authority except in making Jonas the son of the widow. There is a tradition that Jonas was the boy who was raised from the dead by Elijah.
