The Gospel of John

Helping prove that the word of God can work as a drama, The Theatre of The Riverside Church – in collaboration with the church’s Ministry of Education – hosts actor Brad Sherrill in his acclaimed one-man show, The Gospel of John. With perhaps a dozen very simple props used in a variety of ways, Sherrill transforms the entire fourth gospel into a captivating drama, presenting the story of the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“An amazing achievement! The overriding question here is whether the word of God can work as a drama. Sherrill proves that it most certainly and successfully can. You need only watch him as John the Baptist, testifying to his first sighting of Jesus Christ, to become a believer. And this moment comes less than 10 minutes into the show.”

“The Gospel of John is a sweaty, gritty tale of a miracle-working idealist who runs afoul of the law. Passion, longing, envy, greed, ambition, intrigue and betrayal — it’s all here, and it is riveting!”
