Barter, Otterbein University

1907-1958 Productions

In Barter we have portrayed a New Testament theme with the utmost respect and vividness. It is a very pathetic human story, evolving around the great betrayal of Judas and made to play its way across a stage already set for the greater drama of Calvary. The author shows how love and respectability are bartered for power and place at the very time that the life of Christ is being bartered for mankind. --Irish Catholic
