Since Christmas is on the way, it's a good time to revisit the ABC series "The Greatest Story Ever Told", a program based on the book of the same title, that dramatizes stories and parables from the Bible.

Program 53 of the series as broadcast on the Armed Forces Radio Service is the story of "The Good Samaritan". This particular script was used several times during the run of the show, but I think this was probably broadcast on January 30, 1949 on ABC based on logs of the show and the contents of other AFRS discs I have from the series.

I'm not the biggest fan of religious programming, but "The Greatest Story Ever Told" starts to rub off on you if you listen to a few episodes. The series ran on ABC in the 1940s and 50s and was based on a popular book that retold stories from the Bible in a form that would be more understandable to today's audiences. Some shows are based on specific incidents in the Bible, while others are fictionalized dramas crafted around one of Christ's teachings.

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" was an unusual series of Biblical dramas carried on the ABC network in the 1940s and 50s. Based on a bestselling book that novelized great stories from the Bible, the program took basic moral questions and turned them into compelling dramas that could be thought of in everyday situations. The approach can be a bit, well, cheesy at times and remind one of a Cecil B. DeMille movie.
