Publisher's Synopsis
Christians and the Theater is a book written by James M. Buckley in 1875. The book explores the relationship between Christianity and the theater, and delves into the question of whether or not Christians should attend theatrical performances. Buckley argues that while some aspects of the theater may be immoral, there are also many positive aspects to the art form that can be enjoyed by Christians. He discusses the history of theater in relation to Christianity, and examines various arguments for and against attending plays. The book also includes a section on the moral responsibilities of actors and playwrights. Christians and the Theater is a thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
