Book Synopsis
What happens when freedom of artistic expression offends freedom of religion? A nationwide controversy arose when America's first professional Passion play was pronounced a ""sacrilege"" by Protestant ministers. This work shows that Salmi Morse and his play were actually the victims of the Protestant church's struggle to maintain power during the late 1800s.
