  <description><![CDATA[Called to the priesthood by God, Fr. James Martin was startled  to get a very different kind of call one evening in 2004: a phone call from  actor Sam Rockwell. Rockwell had been cast in the part of Judas Iscariot in  an Off-Broadway play where Judas was on trial for his crime of betraying  Jesus; would Martin be willing to offer some theological insights? Martin  gladly obliged, and within weeks playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and other  members of the cast began to dialogue with Martin about a host of spiritual  issues that weighed on their minds: Can we believe the Bible? What was  Jesus' mission? What is sin? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God's  forgiveness? <em>A Jesuit Off-Broadway</em> recounts Fr. Martin's thrilling  six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company, as it created and performed  <em>The Last Days of Judas Iscariot</em>, which had a sold-out five-week run  in New York. As the occasionally profane and worldly playwright, director,  and actors struggled to understand theological issues and ideas, they  strove to convey them in an artistically convincing way to a largely  secular audience. Through it all, Martin learned lessons about theater and  life, about how the sacred and the secular aren't always that far apart,  and how questions often tell us more than answers do.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Called to the priesthood by God, Fr. James Martin was startled  to get a very different kind of call one evening in 2004: a phone call from  actor Sam Rockwell. Rockwell had been cast in the part of Judas Iscariot in  an Off-Broadway play where Judas was on trial for his crime of betraying  Jesus; would Martin be willing to offer some theological insights? Martin  gladly obliged, and within weeks playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and other  members of the cast began to dialogue with Martin about a host of spiritual  issues that weighed on their minds: Can we believe the Bible? What was  Jesus' mission? What is sin? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God's  forgiveness? <em>A Jesuit Off-Broadway</em> recounts Fr. Martin's thrilling  six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company, as it created and performed  <em>The Last Days of Judas Iscariot</em>, which had a sold-out five-week run  in New York. As the occasionally profane and worldly playwright, director,  and actors struggled to understand theological issues and ideas, they  strove to convey them in an artistically convincing way to a largely  secular audience. Through it all, Martin learned lessons about theater and  life, about how the sacred and the secular aren't always that far apart,  and how questions often tell us more than answers do.]]>

    <![CDATA[Called to the priesthood by God, Fr. James Martin was startled  to get a very different kind of call one evening in 2004: a phone call from  actor Sam Rockwell. Rockwell had been cast in the part of Judas Iscariot in  an Off-Broadway play where Judas was on trial for his crime of betraying  Jesus; would Martin be willing to offer some theological insights? Martin  gladly obliged, and within weeks playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and other  members of the cast began to dialogue with Martin about a host of spiritual  issues that weighed on their minds: Can we believe the Bible? What was  Jesus' mission? What is sin? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God's  forgiveness? <em>A Jesuit Off-Broadway</em> recounts Fr. Martin's thrilling  six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company, as it created and performed  <em>The Last Days of Judas Iscariot</em>, which had a sold-out five-week run  in New York. As the occasionally profane and worldly playwright, director,  and actors struggled to understand theological issues and ideas, they  strove to convey them in an artistically convincing way to a largely  secular audience. Through it all, Martin learned lessons about theater and  life, about how the sacred and the secular aren't always that far apart,  and how questions often tell us more than answers do.]]>

    <![CDATA[Called to the priesthood by God, Fr. James Martin was startled  to get a very different kind of call one evening in 2004: a phone call from  actor Sam Rockwell. Rockwell had been cast in the part of Judas Iscariot in  an Off-Broadway play where Judas was on trial for his crime of betraying  Jesus; would Martin be willing to offer some theological insights? Martin  gladly obliged, and within weeks playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and other  members of the cast began to dialogue with Martin about a host of spiritual  issues that weighed on their minds: Can we believe the Bible? What was  Jesus' mission? What is sin? Does hell exist? Is anyone beyond God's  forgiveness? <em>A Jesuit Off-Broadway</em> recounts Fr. Martin's thrilling  six months with the LAByrinth Theater Company, as it created and performed  <em>The Last Days of Judas Iscariot</em>, which had a sold-out five-week run  in New York. As the occasionally profane and worldly playwright, director,  and actors struggled to understand theological issues and ideas, they  strove to convey them in an artistically convincing way to a largely  secular audience. Through it all, Martin learned lessons about theater and  life, about how the sacred and the secular aren't always that far apart,  and how questions often tell us more than answers do.]]>
