J.B.: A Play in Verse -- Archibald MacLeish

<strong><em>J. B.: A Play in Verse </em>is Archibald MacLeish's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, based on the biblical story of Job.</strong>The story of a twentieth-century American banker and millionaire whom God commands be stripped of his family and wealth, but who refuses to turn his back on God. J.B.: A Play in Verse sparked a national conversation about the nature of God, the meaning of hope, and the role of the artist in society.It was an inspiration to select the Biblical figure of Job as a prism in which to reflect the suffering and the injustice of our time.--The Atlantic<br><br><b>Author:</b> Archibald MacLeish<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ecco Press<br><b>Published:</b> 08/01/1989<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.36lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780395083536<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Christian Century</i> 10/18/2011 pg. 30
