A Jesuit Off-Broadway: Behind the Scenes with Faith, Doubt, Forgiveness, and More

Can we believe the Bible? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God's forgiveness? A Jesuit Off-Broadway provides thoughtful answers to these and many more questions as Fr. James Martin recounts his thrilling six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company in New York. Asked to serve as the theological consultant for The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Fr. Martin soon finds himself offering answers to deep, often difficult, questions posed by the playwright, director, and cast members.

In the weeks leading up to opening night and throughout the play's sold-out run, all who are involved in the play discover that the sacred and the secular aren't so far apart after all. And by the time the final curtain falls, the cast has come to understand that Fr. Martin is much more than an invaluable adviser: he's a genuine friend.
