In light of the fact that the modern "theater" (in the form of godless movies and television) has become one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of Antichrist, Christians everywhere need (maybe more than ever) to understand the origins and dangers of these forms of information (propaganda?) dissemination.

Some chapters in this book include: the origin and progress of drama; fruitless attempts to reform the theater; authorities against the theater (and much more).

Winchester also answers such question as: Is the theater a mirror of nature? and Is the theater a school of virtue? "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me" (Ps. 101:3).
